Primates

Yesterday I went on section with the primates keepers Jaqui and Nathan. Sadly there are no pictures because the weather was so lousy that I didn't want to take my camera with me.
We fed and cleaned up after the pygmy marmosets, iguanas, cotton-topped tamarins, squirrel monkeys, agouti, capuchins, spider monkeys, gibbons, chimpanzees, lemurs, and golden lion tamarins.
Two of those animals are not primates - can you tell me which ones?

I had a fantastic day as I got to hand feed many of the smaller primates - giving them small pieces of fruit to eat. We had lots of fun giving rice balls to the spider monkeys. One of the females is so nimble with her prehensile tail that she can use it to pick a rice ball out of your hand.
Find out what prehensile means. Why would this be a good adaption for a monkey to have?

It was also neat to see Jaqui using hand signals and rewards to give the chimpanzees basic health checks - seeing their hands, feet, ears and mouth. It is amazing what you can do with a little smear of peanut butter. And amazing training of course.
Here are some photos of the squirrel monkeys, cotton-tops and chimps that I took on other days.
