Monkey World
Monkey World
Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre is home to over 240 rescued and endangered primates. We have 8 species of monkeys and prosimians at the park: capuchin monkeys, common marmosets, cotton-top tamarins, ring-tailed lemurs, ruffed lemur, squirrel monkeys (pictured), stump-tailed macaques and woolly monkeys.
We are home to the largest group of chimpanzees outside of Africa, living in 4 different social groups. There are 3 groups of orang-utans at the park, including 2 different species: Bornean and Sumatran.
Monkey World is home to Europe's only Orang-utan Creche, and also successfully breeds Bornean orang-utans as part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP).
