About

Monkey Sanctuary is a zoo aquarium in south west. Established 1964. (Animal sanctuary in Cornwall, England.) Wikipedia notes: "The Monkey Sanctuary was founded in 1964 by Len Williams, father of classical guitarist John Williams, as a cooperative to care for rescued woolly monkeys. Based in Looe, Cornwall, England, it was home to woolly monkeys descended from the original residents, a growing number of capuchin monkeys rescued from the British pet trade, many marmosets, and a small group of rescued macaques.".
