Dead Monkeys at the Cherry Brook Zoo

The deaths of three infant Callimico Goeldi monkey's born at the Cherry Brook Zoo is being blamed on an incident that happened a year and a half ago. You might remember April, an infant Goeldi monkey was kidnapped and after a city-wide search, she was returned to the front door of the facility. Zoo Director Lynda Collrin tells CHSJ News, they have put back together the original breeding pair and are hoping to re-populate the species.


Collrin says April's brother Charlie became so over-protective after she was kidnapped, that he would hold on to each infant so tight and long, they became to weak from starvation to nurse.
