Spectacled Bear with Squirrel Monkeys

Taken 12th August 2015
As well as this mix, there was another one with Spectacled Bear and Coati.

Is there much risk with this mix, or the Coati and Spectacled Bear one?

It looked potentially dangerous, though I didn't notice any problems.

Has a bear ever eaten a monkey? Because this mix looks very risky even though the monkeys probably have their own spot to get away from the bears.

Is the addition of monkeys a recent development? I don't remember them being there when I visited but I could be mistaken.

The squirrel monkeys have been in with the bears since July 2014. I've never actually heard of any problems with mixing spectacleds. However, accidents can always happen.

Spectacleds are of course mainly herbivorous, so that's beneficial for mixing them.
