Can you have a pet monkey in Australia? If yes, how?

Answer by  naturalmom (211)

You can have a pet monkey in Australia but you have to be able to list your home as a private zoo because monkeys are considered wild animals.

Yes! Pet monkeys are a possibility in Australia WITH the proper license. To own a pet monkey you have to go through a process of proving your house is like a privet zoo. You have to have a proper place for the monkey. It is also good to have prior experience with the type of monkey you are thinking about.
