Monkey Life

Alison's called in to rescue two abandoned marmosets and she's shocked at their living conditions. It's not an easy job catching them as they have free run of a bedroom but Alison perseveres so that Caesar and Bud can receive proper care.

It's a first for the park with the birth of a baby for red bellied guenons, Nia and Benny. They are believed to be the only ones of their species in captivity anywhere in the world and were rescued from the Lebanon last year.

Primate Care staff member, James travels to Germany to meet a baby orang-utan in need of a new home, Hujan was rejected by his mum and has had to be hand reared. He is coming to live at Monkey World as it's the European crèche for orphan orangs.

Baby orang-utan Hujan arrives from Germany to start a new life at the park and an excited team are waiting to greet him. Alison rediscovers a chimp she and Jim first tried to rescue from a circus in Thailand fifteen years ago, and makes a vow to do everything she can to rescue Naree.

Baby orang-utan Hujan spends his first night at the park with primate care staff member James keeping him company before meeting potential new foster mum, Lucky.

Alison and Jeremy travel to Thailand to rescue female chimp Naree, who Jim and Alison first found 15 years ago. It's an exciting and nervous time for Alison who can't wait to get Naree back to the park to start her new life, but first she needs to be sedated for the long journey back to Monkey World.

Chimpanzee Naree arrives safely from Thailand but it's an emotional time for Alison after 15 years of waiting. First introductions with Bryan's group don't go to plan when chimp Rodders has a strop but Naree only wants to make friends.

Chimp Naree sees the big outdoors for the first time, joining her new friends Bryan and Lulu in the large enclosure. Baby orang-utan Hujan also goes outside for the first time with the help and support of RoRo.

It's time for new chimp Toprish to brave the outside enclosure but she finds the great outdoors a bit of a shock, however she has her new family with her offering their support.

Hujan, the smallest orang-utan at the park gets to meet Tuan, one of the largest. However Tuan is more interested in RoRo than checking out the little orang. Stumpie Sam has a dental check-up and his decay causes dismay, vet Holly has her work cut out with this patient.

Vet Caesar is called in to examine squirrel monkeys Azzi and Charlie and there's devastating news for their carers. A hard decision has to be made for Charlie's welfare and the team hope they can make Azzi comfortable.

Marmoset Ruby gives birth and it's a bit of a shock for the care team as it's quads! The park doesn't allow the marmosets to breed normally so Ruby giving birth to four babies is a real surprise.

In our first Vietnam special, Alison and wildlife vet John Lewis visit the park's sister sanctuary Dao Tien to examine two baby douc langurs, both victims of hunters. Plus the team are preparing for a gibbon release that has been three years in the making but plans change at the last minute.

In the second Vietnam special John Lewis and Marina head out from Dao Tien to take injured baby douc langur Anthony for X-rays on the mainland.

Wildlife vet John Lewis is called in to take another look at Bruce, one of the park's two male Bengal slow loris, can he find the cause of Bruce's lump this time?

A trip to the hospital for lemurs Houdini and Whitespot, vet Dave has to x-ray Houdini's injured arm and then remove one of Whitespot's canine teeth.

Brass and Evi, two of the park's more unusual residents get a health check from wildlife vet John Lewis. Red bellied guenon baby Biff goes all out, to dine out with back up from mum Nia.

Alison's in Yorkshire with the RSPCA and police, to rescue a capuchin living in an outdoor cage, but will she be able to bring the primate back to Monkey World.

Newly rescued capuchin Chook gets a medical and her past life as a pet may have taken its toll. But there's better news for lar gibbon Kitty who's recovering from a mystery illness which is a massive relief for the primate care staff.

Rescued capuchin Chook goes outside for the first time with her new group. While hand reared baby loris Bobbi gets ready to graduate into the loris complex.
