This incredibly handsome Japanese Snow Macaque spent the majority of his life living at a zoo in Pennsylvania. However, when his mate passed away Louie found himself to be very lonely. Macaques are very social animals by nature and Louie is no exception. The loss of his mate left Louie heartbroken, and the caring staff knew he needed a change.

Facility staff thought Louie would do best if he could be around other primates but unfortunately they did not have a suitable companion for him. They reached out to Popcorn Park to see if we could provide Louie with a permanent home, particularly one where he could have some kind of primate companionship. Of course, we gladly welcomed him to the Popcorn Park family! 

Louie arrived at our facility in June 2019 and settled in to life in our Monkey House. Though Louie still mourned the loss of his mate, it was clear that he was overjoyed to be in the company of other monkeys.
