I fuckin love Saki Monkeys

Because males look like a *creature*

And females just look like a dinner lady

Regarding the ask about mixing species in enclosures, keepers also usually take into account the niches of those species.

For example, my zoo has a mixed species enclosure with white-faced saki monkeys, Patagonian maras, and a green iguana.

Since saki monkeys rarely leave the trees, they’re never really on the ground with the cavies, and the green iguana mostly likes to bask on the same branch all day, so he doesn’t get in the monkeys’ way. They even groom him, picking off bits of shed skin, and the babies sometimes like to play with his tail, which he is super chill about.

So we have three species living together who come from the same habitat (well, only historically in the case of the mara) but don’t run into each other much as their niches don’t overlap, and they don’t have anything to compete over.

Lovely addition, thanks for additional info on the topic!
