Stephanie

Stephanie’s arrival was especially exciting for Jungle Friends, as she was only our third golden-handed tamarin to ever join the sanctuary. 

Laid-back and easygoing, Stephanie is comfortable around people and is known for being a champion eater. She’s partial to cherries, but she’ll happily snack on just about anything. 

Stephanie is very curious. She loves watching everything going on around her, whether it’s her caregivers or her monkey neighbors. In her short time here, she has amazed us with her quick ability to copy and mimic calls, especially those of her then neighbor and now inseparable partner, Elsa, another female and a different species. 

Stephanie is enjoying the joys of sanctuary life. She can often be spotted relaxing with Elsa or racing through her outdoor habitat to soak up as much sunshine as possible.
