Gizmo's arrival at Jungle Friends, alongside 25 other squirrel monkeys, marked a monumental moment in animal rights history. Retired from nicotine studies, this troop was the first to be released by the FDA, an achievement that caught the attention of CNN and was celebrated by advocates everywhere. With his keen, intelligent eyes and ever-curious expression, Gizmo quickly became the life of the party at the sanctuary. A naturally friendly youngster, he radiates warmth and is always eager to make new friends, human or monkey alike. Yet beneath his sociable demeanor lies a calculating mind, always assessing his surroundings and the best ways to navigate his new world. These days, you’ll often find Gizmo lounging in the sun, embracing his newfound freedom and strategically observing everything around him, relishing every moment in his tropical paradise. His nickname, "The Savvy Social Strategist," plays on his love for socializing and his knack for always having a game plan, making him the life of the party with a strategic twist.
