Okay, I admit it, the title is misleading. "Invasion" implies that it is being done willingly... but "overwhelming trafficking of the spider monkeys" doesn't have the same ring to it.
In recent years, there has been a major influx observed in smuggled spider monkey babies being found at the US-Mexican border. Some are being snuck up here for sale, others have already been sold, and their new owners are trying to bring them home. Whatever the case, many have been found during inspections and confiscated. But what to do with them? Many of these monkeys are in poor physical condition due to their young age, inappropriate care, and rough transport conditions. The answer is generally, "call the zoo."
But what happens from there? Find out here:
