Monkey Haven Isle of Wight

MEET FUDGE AND NEREID

Fudge is a male javan langur. He has a shiny bright orange coat and wakes up most mornings with a 'bad hair day'! Fudge can often be seen in the middle of a 'group hug' with 'his girls'. His group consists of two female hybrid leaf monkeys Nereid and Phi. These monkeys are the result of cross breeding between two different species of leaf monkey.

MEET RASMAYA AND SOMER OUR LAR GIBBONS

At the Haven we have Rasmaya and Somer who are mother and daughter. Rasmaya was born in Germany and has lived at many zoos in Europe before settling at the Haven. She is one of the oldest monkeys we look after and she enjoys swinging around her enclosure and loves to eat apple.

MEET XHABU AND BOG OUR SIAMANG'S

Xhabu is a male Siamang gibbon and a perfect example of why we set up the Haven. His brother died at birth due to complications and unfortunately Xhabu was born with disabilities. Bog ended up at the Haven when he was removed from the breeding programme due to the lack of information related to his blood line.

MEET BONO AND KAJAN OUR MUELLER'S GIBBONS

Bono and Kajan are mother and daughter and came to the Haven from a zoo when Bono's partner died. This is because the zoo needed the space and resources they were using to set up a breeding pair. Bono is very laid back while cheeky daughter Kajan rules the roost often stealing food off her mother.

MEET HOBO, DREY, TAMMY AND SPOK OUR RHESUS MACAQUES

Hobo was the first Macaque to arrive at the Haven after being rescued by the RSPCA from someone's back garden in Dorset. Hobo's rescue became national news. He was believed to be about a year old and was initially cared for by Cricket St Thomas before arriving at the Haven.

MEET JACO, PIP, KEEKEE, PENNY, TUPPENCE AND SIXPENCE OUR COMMON MARMOSETS

The Marmosets used to be owned by a private collector who could no longer look after them. She wanted them to stay together and did not want them to end up in the pet trade so they came to us.

MEET PEQUENI AND PANAMA OUR RED-BELLIED TAMARINS

These two came to us in March 2010 and have settled in well.

MEET TIRANA AND SANA OUR COLOBUS MONKEYS

These two colobus monkeys came to us in March 2010 and have settled in well. They are very inquisitive and like to explore every inch of their enclosure.

MEET MARTIN A CAPUCHIN MONKEY

Martin started off life in Glasgow Zoo. When this Zoo closed he was sent on loan to Grangewood Zoo in Derbyshire.

MEET DJEBRA OUR RED-TAILED GUEON

Djebra is a male Red Tailed Guenon and arrived at the Haven on the 25th August 2010. In 2001 Djebra was confiscated from a private home due to being kept illegally as a pet and re-homed at Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire.

MEET TORNADO AND CROTCHET OUR BLACK AND WHITE RUFFED LEMURS

We are very excited about our new Black & White Ruffed Lemurs from Howletts Zoo in Kent. They are Mother Tornado and daughter Crotchet.
