Wild About Monkeys!
Thursday, July 11 at 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
On Thursday, July 11th in the North Walnut Grove Group Picnic Area at 11 am [NOTE THE TIME CHANGE FROM 3 PM to 11 AM], the Friends are very pleased to present our second children’s program for the summer, Wild About Monkeys! We are very excited that animal experts Kevin Keith & his daughter Illianna are bringing their renowned monkey family to San Pedro Valley Park for the very first time! Some of these wonderful animals have starred in several recent feature films, including “Rock Of Ages,” “The Rundown,” “Evan Almighty,” and “Dinner for Schmucks.”
Training baboons is their specialty and they believe baboons to be, by far, the most socially intelligent primate. Combining the rare skills of excellent trainers and the incredible instincts of the wild, as well as domestic animals with which they have become friends, Kevin and Illianna delight and amaze their audiences with fun, education and great entertainment for the whole family. Come and see them and their Mandrill baboon friends!!
