Sprocket’s journey to Jungle Friends marked a milestone in animal welfare. Alongside 25 other squirrel monkeys, he was retired from nicotine studies, becoming part of the first-ever troop released by the FDA—a victory covered by CNN and celebrated by advocates nationwide. But while Sprocket made headlines, it's his playful spirit that truly stands out.

Known for his curious and adventurous nature, Sprocket is often the instigator of fun among the troop. He’s got a habit of swiping fidget toys when the mood strikes, turning every moment into a game. He also shares a special bond with Houdini, another clever monkey in the sanctuary. While Houdini is the master of escape, Sprocket has picked up some crafty tricks along the way, keeping everyone on their toes with his mischievous antics.

Sprocket’s vibrant personality and clever ways make him a beloved member of the sanctuary, always stirring up fun and keeping life interesting.
