Monkey

Monkeys are a land animal. They were one of the six original animals introduced into Animal Jam in the Beta Testing. Monkeys left Animal Jam on April 12th, 2012; the reason was to raise the awareness of the endangered species list. Throughout the extent of time, the monkey spirit stone was still able to be used. Monkeys can now be purchased by all Jammers for 1,000 Gems.

The Conservation Museum formerly had a donation box at the right hand side of the entrance, for the purposes of bringing endangered animals to Jamaa. Animal Jam Head Quarters used this box to bring the monkeys back, and present new animals.

On August 30th, Jammers finished donating over 1,000,000 Gems in the donation box. As a result, Animal Jam Headquarters brought monkeys back, along with the Monkey pet and the Monkeys Only Party featuring a jungle-like den. Monkeys were quite common and were growing in population. They aren't very common anymore, probably because of the newer animals are being released.
