Are you allowed to have a monkey in Colorado?

It depends on the type of monkey. Colorado state law (C.R.S. 35-41-115) states that it is illegal to possess "a dangerous animal of the primate species," with some specific exceptions. These exceptions include species of tamarins, marmosets, capuchins, squirrel monkeys, macaques, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and any "nonhuman primate bred under captive conditions from parents or grandparents, themselves bred in captivity". However, other types of primates, such as baboons, are illegal to possess according to the law
