Pepsi arrived at Jungle Friends after being retired from nicotine studies, along with 25 other squirrel monkeys, marking a historic moment as the first troop retired by the FDA. Their arrival was celebrated in a CNN report that highlighted the efforts of everyone involved in making this milestone possible. Pepsi is known for his playful and energetic nature; he loves to wrestle and is always up for a game. He and his playmates often form a lively, tumbling fur ball that joyfully crashes into everything in their path. Despite the chaos, these playful boys never lose their tempers—after a few minutes of spirited play, they're quick to settle down for a cozy cuddle nap together.
