This is the seventh installment in a series of posts touring a primate-themed zoo which I built in 2021, named Monkey Land. You can read an introduction for it here.

There's six Colombian white-faced capuchins in the enclosure (2.2.2). The species is surprisingly rare at real British zoos but I understand they're quite common in the pet trade. If Monkey Land was real, it would have probably taken in a few ex-pets:
