About two dozen squirrel monkeys that have spent their lives in cages as test subjects in nicotine addiction research are now away from the lab and transitioning to the open skies at Gainesville’s Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary.
The FDA has retired research monkeys for the first time, starting with a group of squirrel monkeys that just arrived at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary.
Carli, the capuchin monkey who escaped from Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary on October 21st, was spotted the morning of October 24th munching on corn by a hunter checking his deer stand. She was darted by a state wildlife officer and returned to the sanctuary.
