  • Noah (M) 9/7/2017

  • Priya (F) 4/16/2001

Identifying Features:

History:

  • Both were born at Phx Zoo

  • Priya was hand-raised and so she is very calm around keepers.  She does have a stereotypical behavior of licking because of being hand-raised that we don’t want to encourage.  Priya loves browse!  She especially loves the “primate” browse she gets now compared to the “hoofstock” browse she got before.

  • Priya is Noah's mother.

More Information:

  • Difficult to research in the wild

  • Forest habitat across most of South America

  • Will freeze in place if predator sensed

  • Will leap through vegetative forests or swim across river if more immediate danger
