Adopting a Spider Monkey
To celebrate the holiday season Monkey Outta Nowhere adopted a Spider Monkey from the nearby Como Zoo. And no, that doesn’t mean a primate is doing light office work at the Monkey Outta Nowhere headquarters. It just means we’re supporting a local urban zoo that’s a great, low-cost attraction.
