Dharma is a capricious capuchin, known for her ever-changing moods and lively sense of curiosity. She arrived at Jungle Friends alongside Darwin after a long journey from Michigan, and the two have remained close companions ever since.

Dharma is the more expressive half of the duo, especially when someone she likes stops by. Her signature move is a wonderfully silly backward dance—arms lifted high as she walks backward with a proud little sway, as if performing a routine she invented on the spot. It’s impossible not to smile when she does it. Just as quickly, she may switch gears, darting off with dramatic flair, clearly enjoying keeping everyone guessing.

When Dharma and Darwin wrestle, she brings enthusiasm and playful confidence, clearly cherishing their bond. Their companionship has helped both monkeys feel secure and supported, especially during moments of change or new experiences.

Whether she’s practicing her backward dance, investigating a new toy, or lounging peacefully with Darwin, Dharma carries an air of mystery that makes her endlessly fascinating. She is spirited, unpredictable, and entirely herself—uniquely Dharma.
