...monkeys - including some woolies, sakis, titis, cotton-head tamarins and marmosets, as well as the howlers - live in somewhat better style than the Lindberghs, who keep only two of the manor's ten drafty rooms heated. By contrast, their primate wards have roomy indoor cages painted pink (the monkeys' favorite color) that are equipped with real tree branches to perch on, ultraviolet lights to ward off infection, radiators, circulating water, and hammocks for naps.
