Latest Volume Volume 46: New World Primates Guest Editors: Gustl Anzenberger, Universität Zürich, Switzerland, and Anthony B. Rylands, Conservation International, USA New World monkeys make up about one-third of the order primates. For zoos and their visitors New World monkeys are attractive species owing to their medium to small size, which allows them to be exhibited in more naturally furnished and relatively large enclosures, or even under free-roaming conditions. All species are arboreal, with the larger species having a prehensile tail enabling a very specific mode of locomotion.
