The love for the animals comes since she graduated in the Higher Institute of Fishing Andrés González Lines, of the capital.

She remembered that in 2012 was born in this installation another monkey Macaca Fascicularis, both adapted to a natural way, not entirable suitable for lacking abundant wooded vegetation.

Some references place the Macaca Arctoides like one of the monkeys of the family Cercopithecidae, in which are gathered the primates of the Old World that live in Africa and Asia, in contrast to the American Monkeys, or from the New World that live in the Americas. It is estimated that they have a kinship with the mangabeys and baboons.

The interviewee explained that this type of monkey “needs of care, feeding, of a setting and a lot of protection that not always exists on the part of the public”.

She reports that his mother is overprotective, she hides him.

“She is an excellent mother, she does not leave him alone and looks over his breast-feeding and hygiene”, mentioned Margarita.

It is an intention of the director of the center, of the veterinarian and of the proper biologist to improve the feeding, of which the vegetable is not missing, the fruit and the protein, like the boiled egg, that helps the animal. She thinks that the key for the reproduction in the zoo is a suitable, variable and quality feeding.

The conversation wraps up with a reference to a long-lived species that inhabits in this place for 48 years, it is a question of a chimpanzee donated by Havana. In the natural way the survival is 45 years and in captivity up to half a century.
