The first Pak-o-Monkey was made in 2015 with practical knowledges from customers who have Capuchin monkeys and used the Pak-o-Bird for a few years. We learned from these responsible customers and continued to make improvements to strengthen the designs and offer customizations for specific usage or monkeys since then.
About one third of the states allow monkeys as pets and permits are required in some of them for good reasons. As cute and lovely as young monkeys are, the responsibility multiplies as they mature. Please make sure you are totally ready to take care of our "cousins" who share 80% to 93% of humans DNA.
Amongst our common customers, the percentage of shared DNA shown on AI search are:
- Capuchin, Spider or Squirrel (new world) Monkeys - 90 to 93%
- Marmoset (new world) monkeys - 88%
- Tamarin (new world) monkeys - 80 to 85%
- Macaque (old world) monkeys - 93%
Many of our customers who bought a Pak-o-Monkey have prepared for the pet monkey when they have the time, patience, knowledge and financial means to do so. Are you ready?
