Barbary Macaques

Chico

Chico was born in 2005 at an unknown location – quite likely in the wild. There is no information on Chico’s life prior to his arrival at Paris zoo. As the youngest of the macaque boys, he knows how to stay out of trouble but also when to be friendly with the others. He is a good natured and intelligent monkey who likes to climb and explore his new environment and play with his monkey friends.

Donkey

Donkey was confiscated from a French travelling circus in 2007 were he had been forced to perform tricks. The trainers made him obey by beating him over the head, and when he was confiscated he had a double fracture to his left leg. Understandably, Donkey doesn’t trust humans easily and can be unpredictable. He was born around 2002-2003 at an unknown location, possibly in the wild. Although still a sub-adult, he is the oldest of the four macaques.

Mario

Mario was confiscated by French authorities after being found abandoned, tied to a lamppost. His origins are unknown but he is likely to have been born sometime in 2005. He is a strong character with lots of self confidence, aspiring for the role as alpha male in the macaque group. He can be quite bossy with the other monkeys.
