Everyone join us in celebrating International Primate Day! 🐒 Primates represent some of the most fun and energetic animals at Abilene Zoo. That incredible personality is shared in nature all over the world and we are honored to play an important role in the conservation of these animals. What is your favorite primate at Abilene Zoo?

To better celebrate these incredible animals, our conservation committee will be hosting a primate day celebration event on September 7th, from 11am-1pm. You can find a table full primate fun facts, crafts and activities located in front of the spider monkey habitat. While you're there, don't miss the live painting demonstration with the colobus monkey at 12:30. See you there!
