The History of the Center

The last few days have been filled with so many wonderful things. I've been in and out of most the cages, cleaning and feeding the animals. Working with prepping their food and active enrichment/rehabilitation. I don't even know where to begin. 

On day 4, Yuman, one of the capuchins monkeys escaped. It has been quite an entertaining feat to get him back in his cage. The best part is the fact that the other capuchins have been feeding Yuman through the cages. Even the howlers have joined in on feeding him. He was a wild monkey so he doesn't do so well with people. I'm not entirely sure how they will lure him back, but it's funny because he's stayed around here. 

Getting to know Sarita has been a fun adventure, she truly loves these animals and is trying her best to do what's best for them. She tells us everyday that she's not perfect, but does what she thinks is the right thing. Learning about the different animals and how the came to be here is heartbreaking. For Veoleto, the sloth, was electrocuted and had to have an arm amputated. The other arm isn't doing so well, either. So it's so sad to see them in this much distress.
