Thursday Trivia!

Here's another question about the Santa Ana Zoo and an animal that lives there . Learn all kinds of fun facts and what to see when you visit the Zoo!

Here's your question for March 11:

What is the name for this type of monkey?


It should be obvious that this is a monkey, but what's up with that extreme moustache? This distinguishing feature and its resemblance to someone is how this type of monkey got it's name.
It is native to the Amazon Basin, in Peru, Bolivia and parts of Brazil. They are a Rainforest monkey, and live in the trees, so they jump quite well.
(*Hint - Find them at the Santa Ana Zoo near the end by Conservation Corner)
