Goldie Hawn lives up to her famous namesake in all the best ways. Curious, expressive, and full of spunk, this spider monkey has a big personality and isn't afraid to share her opinions. She arrived at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary alongside her friend Clydette after changes in their guardians' lives made it clear they needed a new home where they could thrive.

From the moment she settled in, Goldie made herself known. She has a mischievous streak and loves turning everyday moments into games, especially if hats or glasses are involved. Spot one within reach, and Goldie may try to snatch it away, watching closely for the reaction that follows. The bigger the response, the more delighted she seems, clearly enjoying the playful exchange.

Goldie is also wonderfully opinionated. If something around her doesn't meet her approval, she won't hesitate to let out a sharp little yell to make sure her feelings are heard. It's all part of her expressive charm, along with her famous laugh that echoes through the habitat and brings smiles to everyone nearby.

Adventurous and quick to explore, Goldie spends her days observing her surroundings, interacting with her neighbors, and keeping caregivers entertained with her clever antics. At Jungle Friends, Goldie Hawn's curiosity, confidence, and lively spirit continue to shine, making her an unforgettable presence in the trees.
