The management of a squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) unit. 1976

P Delort, and M Chopard, and J Tachon

Biological, particularly reproductive data for the squirrel monkey were reviewed. Information was also given on the care, diet, maintenance, health status, and handling of the species. The value of squirrel monkey in research was discussed. It was concluded that a controlled monkey unit produces a more homogeneous population than one would find in a natural environment and does not deplete the natural populations.
