New species alert - meet Apollo and Juniper! These two are owl monkeys, a new species at the Akron Zoo. Apollo, the male, is 9 years old and Juniper, the female, is 11 years old. The two are a companion pair and will not be breeding.Owl monkeys (also referred to as night monkeys) are the only true nocturnal monkey species. You can find these two in the Nocturnal Den in our multi-species habitat, alongside our six-banded armadillo, Dozer. Apollo and Juniper are on habitat now, so stop by and meet them! As the duo learns the habitat, there is some paper on the window to help them know where the glass is. The paper will be removed gradually as they adjust. by @akronzoo
