Baby spider monkeys might look like adorable pets, but it's deadly for the species."The cruel truth is that in order for wildlife traffickers to obtain infant spider monkeys to sell into the pet trade, they have to kill the entire troop. That’s exactly what officials believe happened to the three new spider monkeys who have been placed with the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens," zoo officials said in a release. They were named Sunny, Violet, and Klaus after the characters in the books, “A Series of Unfortunate Events," because tough times are exactly what these infant monkeys have gone through."It's also sad that three of them were removed from the population in the wild because they should be swinging through the jungles of Central America right now," Chris Torge, the director of animal operations at the Central Florida Zoo, said.Zoo officials said the three Mexican spider monkey infants were rescued from wildlife trafficking."So they were confiscated by customs coming from the Mexico border into Texas. And they were brought into this country to be pets, for Americans. So the unfortunate reality of that is that in order to get baby spider monkeys away from their troop, and away from their mothers, we have to kill the troop," Torge said.The zoo believes they are from three different families, meaning many monkeys were killed in the wild to try to get them.Now, through a partnership with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, these orphans have a new home in Central Florida.Zoo officials said all three spider monkeys love interacting with guests."So now they're going to be you know, ambassadors for their kind here, and to teach the people that visitors do about wildlife trafficking and not to support the illegal pet trade," Torge said.Sunny, Violet and Klaus are now welcoming visitors to hang out at the Central Florida Zoo. The Mexican spider monkey is categorized as endangered, zoo officials said.These monkeys, one male and two females, will someday help with the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' Species Survival Plan.
