Macaque Spotlight Profiles
Graham
April 29, 2003
Graham is the oldest and most dominant
male in our troop. He is very food
motivated and will lip smack with
humans, which could be a sign of
contentment or a request for friendship.
Graham is father to Kera, Zuki, Rosey,
Java, River, Titus, Cynde, and Chi.
Paul Grayson
April 19, 2017
Paul Grayson is very interactive with the
keepers and enjoys feeling objects that
the keepers show him. Paul Grayson can
be identified by a tag in his left ear and his
dark face. He can often be found playing
with the other young boys.
Java
June 14, 2016
Like her mother, Walla, Java has dark
cheek lines and a prominent brow. She
also has pointy ears, with tags in both.
Java can often be found playing with
Ren and is sometimes interested in
interacting with the keepers.
Anna
August 30, 2010
Anna can be identified by her ¾
tail and larger body size as well as
having a dark line between her
eyes and a whiter face. She is
mother to Zuki and River. Anna
prefers her fellow macaques over
keepers.
Ren
September 22, 2017
You may see Ren with mother Momba,
or playing with Java. Ren has tags in
both of her ears. She can be skittish
around people and prefers the other
macaques.
Mango
July 20, 2009
One of the dominant females, Mango can be
easily identified from the other macaques
because of her large body size and the lack
of a tail. She is very food motivated and is
eager to train and interact if food is present.
Mango is mother to Kera, Rosey, and Tytus.

Momba
November 24, 2010
Momba is our most dominant female
and can usually be spotted following
her daughter Cynde. While she prefers
macaques to humans, she is food
motivated and will train with keepers
if good treats are presented.
Walla
August 18, 2010
Walla is the second most dominant female after
Momba. She can be identified by her thick, full
beard, dark cheek lines, flat ears, and
prominent brow. Walla is mother to Java and
shares a mother with Glenda.
Manny
July 21, 2016
Manny is darker in color
compared to the other younger
males with a darker black on top
of his head. He is very interactive
with his keepers and likes to feel
the keeper tools like gloves,
brushes, and broom handles.
Macki
September 1, 2010
Macki is a middle-ranking female who can be
identified by her ¾ tail, gray nose and face, and
overall darker body color. Macki very much
enjoys being interactive with her keepers.
