====Monkey House====
The Monkey House, which first opened in 1901 and was originally named the Primate House, closed in late February 2012 after 111 years of operation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/anthropology-in-practice/closing-the-monkey-house-and-the-end-of-a-shared-experience/ |title=Closing the Monkey House: The End of a Shared Experience |author=Krystal D'Costa |work=Scientific American Blog Network |access-date=February 29, 2016 |archive-date=December 8, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171208232954/https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/anthropology-in-practice/closing-the-monkey-house-and-the-end-of-a-shared-experience/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="bz-monkeys">{{cite web |url=http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/monkey-house.aspx |title=Monkey House |publisher=Bronx Zoo |access-date=May 31, 2010 |archive-date=January 30, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120130201357/http://www.bronxzoo.com/animals-and-exhibits/exhibits/monkey-house.aspx |url-status=live}}</ref> At the time of closing, it was home to [[cotton-top tamarins]], [[white-faced saki]]s, [[Wied's marmoset]]s, [[moustached tamarin]]s, [[black-chinned emperor tamarin]]s, [[Goeldi's monkey]]s and [[gray-handed night monkey|grey-handed night-monkey]]s, as well as [[Brazilian porcupine]]s and [[Pallas's long-tongued bat]]s. This was the building where [[Ota Benga]] spent most of his time during his stay at the zoo.<ref name="bz-monkeys"/>

Some of the primates that were in the now-closed exhibit have been moved to other parts of the zoo, such as the cotton-top tamarins now being found in World of Birds; others were sent to other New York City zoos, such as the sakis being moved to the [[Central Park Zoo]]. [[White-headed capuchin]]s can still be seen in an outdoor cage behind the building.<ref name="bz-monkeys"/>
