About Lodi
Name: Lodi
Species: Weeper Capuchin (Cebus olivaceus)
Who is he? The Wannabe Tough Guy
Special skills: Making friends
On arrival at our Sanctuary in June 2011, he was very underweight and nervous, but despite his insecurities, he soon made it very obvious that he was desperate to meet the other monkeys! Despite his eagerness, the start of his new life was hindered as his social skills left a lot to be desired for! As he had grown up isolated and alone, he had not learned the essential do's and don'ts of capuchin society - so he had a lot to learn!
As a particularly small male, Lodi's transformation is hugely impressive and a testament to how wonderful and strong he is. Now the alpha of our weeper capuchin group, Lodi is a kind but firm leader who his group look up to and respect.
Primates are intelligent and sociable animals and being kept as pets is a lonely, under-stimulating existence that can lead to abnormal behaviours. These behaviours may remain with the monkeys for the rest of their lives, but with enough environmental stimulation, social company, and lots of territory space with access to branches and trees, we can help these monkeys recover and offer them a stable, stimulating, and social life at the Sanctuary.
Adopting Lodi means that you are helping to provide the resources needed to give Lodi the best life possible. Your adoption also enables Wild Futures to continue its vital work campaigning for an end to the primate pet trade in the UK and abroad.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Our adoptions are purely symbolic, which means you will not receive any real animals in the post! Monkeys are wild animals – not domesticated pets.
By purchasing a symbolic monkey adoption, you are agreeing to our Terms and Conditions.
