Elvis the Spider Monkey at 60 | Boise News

Meet Elvis, the 60-year-old spider monkey at Zoo Boise who’s been a beloved fixture since 1973—longer than most humans live. With arthritis but still full of charm, he’s got blue eyes, a playful spirit, and a daily gourmet meal of bananas, squash, apples, and radishes to keep him going. He’s not alone: fellow elder statesmen include a 100-year-old tortoise named Mr. Mac and other primates in their forties. The zoo’s staff go above and beyond to adapt exhibits and care for these aging stars, proving that with love and attention, even monkeys can live long, happy lives.
