Benibits - Cheeky Monkeys

as much fun as a barrel load of monkeys

Be prepared for a cuteness overload at Terra Natura! Benidorm's big nature theme park has imported nine squirrel monkeys – also known as saimiris – which promise to be as much fun as a barrel load of monkeys.

The small simians are all male and around two years old. This is the most playful age for these monkeys and so the park has delayed bringing any females in to spoil the fun for the lads. The girls will arrive much later and then the serious business of breeding can commence.
