Bella / Vervet Monkey

Bella, born on 12/24/01 is a female vervet monkey that we helped retire from the pet trade. Her caring owners knew she was getting to be too much to handle and sent her to Primates Inc where she could be well taken care of and live with other monkeys. This adorable, sweet girl is settling in wonderfully. Welcome to Primates Inc, Bella! She looks young at 18, right? We are proud to say Bella is now paired with Jojo and the two of them are happy with each other!

He showed instant affection toward Bella from afar – and now – thanks to the PI Primatologist and Primate Behavior Specialist assessing behavior, Bella and Jojo are successfully paired.
