Abstract
A device for the long-term securing or "housing" of monkeys on poles is disclosed wherein a tether with rotatable joints is connected at one end to a collar around the monkey's neck and at the other end to a ring loosely fitted around a vertical climbing pole attached to a horizontal support means with perch means, and a source of food and water being supplied to each climbing pole, wherein the monkeys may climb up and down the climbing poles freely with the ring sliding up and down the pole, and wherein the monkey may make close social contact with other monkeys similarly restrained without their tethers becoming entangled.
