Sketches for the Monkey Pen

The Zoo Keepers are pleased to share with you the following sketches for the Monkey's pen, created by our friend, Well Known Local Artist. Hopefully the Monkey Environment will be underway as of Friday. Also note the inclusion of Teddy, who is stationed on top of a bookcase next to the crib in the sketch. (Bookcases and cribs will be darker wood, not white.) Teddy, while not grown in quite the same fashion as Monkey, is another creation by the Zoo Keeper and our research indicates that Monkeys and Teddys should enjoy a very mutually beneficial relationship in their shared environment.

Forest a la Chronicles of Narnia


Mr. Tumnus keeps us company by the reading nook

The edge of the tree is actually a wall that goes a few feet back - just right for big floor pillows and lots of books. Very gender neutral fairies will be included in this magic hideaway.
