Dylan was confiscated in another state when he was just a few weeks old, malnourished, and too weak to lift his tiny head. He was so fragile that traveling was out of the question. Instead, Dylan stayed at a local zoo, where he received the care he needed until he was strong enough to make the journey to Jungle Friends.

When baby Dylan arrived at Jungle Friends, he clung to a stuffed animal, rocking back and forth—a heartbreaking sign of his need for a mother monkey's comfort. Luckily for Dylan, he received a warm welcome. Monkers, a young adult monkey, adopted him as her own, carrying him on her back and bringing him down to his caregivers for his bottle at feeding time.

Dylan now delights in rambunctious rough-and-tumble play with his new monkey friends, chasing them through the trees and engaging in spirited wrestling matches. His days are filled with laughter, playful antics, and the joy of belonging to a lively and loving monkey family.
