Jaws was among the 25 squirrel monkeys retired from nicotine studies and brought to Jungle Friends, making history as the first troop retired by the FDA—a milestone that garnered praise from CNN. Known for his complexity, Jaws is a friendly but introverted monkey, finding companionship mainly in his buddy, Moby. In his youth, Jaws had a reputation for biting, a behavior he used to compensate for his smaller size among the group. Over time, he has learned better manners and is now slowly earning back the trust of his troop, showing signs of growth and maturity.
