Celebrate International Primate Day at the Zoo!
Primates are some of the most intelligent and social animals on the planet. From playful monkeys to majestic great apes, they share many traits with humans and are vital to the health of their ecosystems, acting as seed dispersers, landscapers, and pollinators. Many primate species face threats like habitat loss, poaching, and over-collection for the illegal pet trade.
Fun Fact: Some primates are known to use tools, which is a highly intelligent behavior.
Old Phones, Big Impact: Support Gorilla Conservation
If you have old cell phones lying around, bring them to the Zoo! The Little Rock Zoo collects cell phones as part of Gorillas on the Line, a campaign run by the AZA Gorilla SAFE. Recycle your devices and help support gorilla conservation in the wild.
