Primate Care

Primate care involves providing the necessary environment, nutrition, and medical attention to ensure the health and well-being of monkeys, apes, and other primates. This includes maintaining appropriate housing that mimics their natural habitat, offering a balanced diet suited to their species, and monitoring for signs of illness. Proper socialization and mental stimulation are vital to prevent stress and promote natural behaviors. Skilled caregivers work closely with veterinarians to ensure primates receive preventive healthcare and treatment when needed, supporting their physical and psychological health in both research settings and sanctuaries.
