Monkey Colour Mystery
Why are baby monkeys sometimes a totally different colour from their parents?
This summer holiday, join Swansea University researchers at Oriel Science to explore how and why these colourful differences might help baby primates survive in the wild.
Through fact-sharing, games, and hands-on activities, curious minds of all ages will try to untangle the mystery of baby monkey colour and help scientists test out exciting new ways of learning!
🎨 Get creative, play, and learn something new!
