Papi
Papi the Mona Monkey has had a very difficult life. He was born in the wild in the West Indies. His parents were killed when he was only young, so he could be taken in to the exotic pet trade. He was sold as a pet in Hungary, but his owner must have realised fairly soon that Papi is not suitable as a pet. The trauma of is parents' death has made Papi very unstable. He can go from being very affectionate to very aggressive in a matter of seconds. He was given to Hungary Zoo, but because Papi can become very aggitated around people, he did not fit in at the zoo and was unable to socialize with the other monkeys. He is doing much better now that he is in a quiet environment and we are hoping to find him a mate in the near future.
