Name: Tomasita Species: Spider Monkey
Age: approximately 13 years old
Location: Parque Machía
Tomasita was brought to the park in March 2000 by a family from Santa Cruz. Although she was tied with a big chain around her waist it seemed that the family really loved her and took good care of her.
On August 21st, 2004 Tomasita gave birth to Primavera, a female baby. In the first few days Tomasita seemed to be in shock, She kept to herself and didn’t interact with the volunteers.
Her status as ‘alpha female’ was overtaken by Micaela in 2004/5. However, because she bullies the other monkeys more than Michaela, she is often seen as the most dominant female of the group.
Tomasita loves male volunteers more then females and often will do "sexy" faces at them. She loves to look at watches and see her reflection, it fascinates her.
