Primarily Primates Station

Swing over here for enthralling encounters with a profusion of peculiar primates. Discover the enchantingly colourful world of monkeys and apes, whose existence in the New and Old World are being threatened by mankind today. Bone up on your primate knowledge as you examine myriad interactive tools, such as skulls, scrapbooks, photographs, pelts and x-rays. You can even compare your handprint to that of an orang utan.

In October 1999, Primarily Primates (PP) was officially established as an 11-strong section providing a tour and discovery station as added attraction in the Primate Kingdom. PP’s evolution began in June, with two pioneering docents providing a tour every 2nd Saturday of the month.

Today, besides manning a discovery station every Sunday afternoon at the Eithopian Experience, PP Volunteer Rangers patrol the Primate Kingdom and Eithopian Experience immersion exhibit to conduct tours for interested visitors.
