Esmeralda is a feisty older marmoset with a cautious streak, especially when it comes to people. Since arriving at Jungle Friends, she's been living her best life-basking in the sun and ruling over her outdoor domain with ninja-like agility.

Once part of vocal cord research at a lab where sunshine was a distant dream, Esmeralda now spends her days soaking up golden rays, climbing trees, and keeping a sharp eye on the little forest critters around her from the very top of her habitat. Her favorite way to relax at the end of a busy day? Curling up in her cozy, fuzzy bed for some well-earned rest.

When it comes to treats, Esmeralda knows exactly what she likes! Green beans top her list, along with peanuts and bananas, and she's not shy about taking as many treats as she can hold. She's known to use her long stretch of outdoor runway to follow any people that she sees, hoping that they have an extra treat with her name on it! With her spirited nature and sunny outdoor lifestyle, Esmeralda is a true queen of the sanctuary.
