Among the most nimble and fascinating primates in tropical jungles of Central and South America are spider monkeys with long limbs and prehensile tails. Renowned for their sophisticated social systems and acrobatic skills, these clever animals have a reproductive cycle as interesting as their wild behavior. Knowing the reproductive cycle of the spider monkey (Ateles species) helps one better understand their life background and the difficulties they experience in their natural surroundings.

Introducing Fiji, Borneo & Urdu. These three howler monkeys arrived in April and have been residing in our clinic since then (Graphic content ahead).

The JRC would like to introduce the newest member of our adoption program. Turanga the 2 finger sloth & Patacón the baby kinkajou.

We are happy to announce that we were able to reunite this mother and baby 3-fingered sloths (Bradypus variegatus).
