Louie is impossible to ignore. From day one, he made himself known. Famously rambunctious, Louie is always climbing, leaping, and testing the limits of his habitat—often breaking things faster than caregivers can fix them. Mischief comes naturally to him, and he seems to take pride in keeping everyone on their toes. Loud, lively, and bursting with personality, this capuchin brings nonstop action wherever he goes, which once made introductions with other monkeys a challenge.

Fortunately for Louie, he found his perfect match in Dereka, who was confiscated from an abusive situation as an adolescent. Their shared energy and bold personalities turned out to be exactly what each needed. Like two peas in a pod, they quickly formed a strong bond and thrive together.

Louie is also a dedicated flirt, especially with his human caregivers. When he sets his sights on someone, he launches into a one-of-a-kind performance—singing loudly while spinning in circles, one hand tucked neatly behind his back like a performer taking center stage. He can become so absorbed that he forgets all about treats right in front of him.

Together, Louie and Dereka create a dynamic duo full of movement, curiosity, and playful chaos. With his bold spirit and unforgettable flair, Louie makes every day at Jungle Friends a little louder—and a lot more entertaining.
