Izzle is a male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) born on May 25th, 2004 in a laboratory. Izzle’s favorite food is mangos but when he is not eating he loves to interact with the various toys placed in his enclosure. His favorite enrichment items are his mirrors which he uses to look at himself and his surroundings, and his Kongs (snowman shaped chew toy) which he enjoys destroying by chewing them into tiny pieces.

They are doing great and our incredible staff analyzed behavior between River, Batman, Mars, and Timon, and we are happy to report we have created two happy pairs of monkeys: Timon and Mars; and Batman and River.

Bella / Vervet Monkey

Bella 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?

“Little One” Vervet Monkey

“Little One” is a male vervet monkey that we helped retire from the pet trade at just one year of age. He showed instant affection toward Bella from afar – and now – thanks to the PI Primatologist and Primate Behavior Specialist assessing behavior, Bella and “Little One” are successfully paired.
