The city of Atascadero announced that three young Mexican spider monkeys are the newest residents to join the Charles Paddock Zoo.
These young monkeys are just under a year old, and will be joining the zoo’s current longtime resident spider monkey, Izzy, who is about 45.
A release by the zoo says spider monkeys are an endangered species, found in parts of Mexico and Central America.
The spider monkey habitat at the zoo has also been given a new paint coating, with MGP Paintings acting as the new sponsor for the spider monkey habitat at the zoo.
