Nick is not only a strikingly handsome monkey, but he's also one of the cleverest at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary. Before arriving at the sanctuary, Nick lived at the University of Georgia (UGA) lab, where he quickly mastered the art of exchanging tokens for treats—a skill he’s brought with him into his new life. Now, Nick likes to up the ante by offering his caregivers trades, often trying to swap a basic monkey biscuit for something tastier. And if they aren’t paying attention to his deal? They might just get hit by a flying biscuit! It’s Nick’s not-so-subtle way of saying, "Let’s make a deal."

Since arriving at Jungle Friends, Nick has fully embraced the sunshine, proudly sporting a healthy tan. However, when rain clouds roll in, he’s far less enthusiastic, always making a run for cover at the first drop. Inquisitive by nature, Nick loves to perch on his jungle gym, keeping a close eye on his monkey neighbors and observing everything around him. His favorite pastime? Taking his meals to the highest point of his jungle gym, where he can dine with a view and stay on top of all the sanctuary action. Nick’s combination of wit, charm, and a bit of cheekiness makes him a true standout.
