Wild Bill is a tufted capuchin, estimated to have been born in the late 1980's and arriving at Jungle Friends on April 8th, 2005. Captured in the rainforest as a youngster, Wild Bill was exported to the US and sold into research where he lived for nearly two decades. Fortunately, after the research program ended, Wild Bill and eight other tufted capuchins were retired to Jungle Friends.
Wild Bill and his monkey friends were housed separately in the laboratory, living indoors in a sterile environment. Here at Jungle Friends, they all enjoy large, naturalistic outdoor habitats. Socializing Wild Bill with a monkey friend proved to be more difficult than with some of the others. Luckily he gets along well with his new companion CB, another retired lab monkey. Wild Bill is a fun-loving monkey but he's…well, he's Wild Bill!
