In the wild, they will dive to escape predators or catch fish and invertebrates. At the Zoo, the monkeys don't have to worry about predators, but keepers put water in the pools so that they have the option to take a dip if they so choose. . . . Native to the swamp forests in the lowland forests of the Congo basin, Allen’s swamp monkeys are considered a species of least concern by the International Union of Conservation of Nature. Still they face many threats to their survival, including habitat destruction, poaching and capturing for the illegal pet trade. Help swamp monkeys like Layla by sharing their stories and inspiring others to care about their conservation! . . .
