Dr. Wiz's talk was great, and if I didn't hate the outdoors so much I would definitely sign up for her field school. Can't wait for Carmen Presti this year!

Yes, we are very lucky to have three active primatologists in this area, including one right here at Buffalo State! This series is a great opportunity to see what your options are.

Just got word on what species of LIVE PRIMATES Carmen Presti will be bringing to campus on Tuesday, April 26th!

Diana, Japanese snow macaque
Ed, Common marmoset
Sara, black/white Capuchin
Wilson, Cotton top tamarin
Emily, Weeper capuchin
Mia, Rhesus macaque

I hope everyone who attended enjoyed the primatology events, especially Carmen Presti!

Channel 2 took some footage of the event and will be interviewing Carmen Presti next week
I'll keep this updated with the details on that!

Be sure to add Carmen on Facebook to show your support for the Primate Sanctuary!
