Red Howler Monkey Gift Ends At Bronx Zoo
A Bronx resident surrendered a rare red howler to the Bronx Zoo after concerns over a large, aggressive monkey in a small apartment. The gift, described as a friendly but fierce creature with a long beard and wolfish teeth, had been housed briefly with curator Raymond L. Ditmars. The animal, initially thought unsuitable as a pet, proved docile after feeding and cautious handling, bonding with a Scarsdale monkey friend while awaiting exhibition.
