BABY BOOMER TIME AT PARADISE GARDENS.

It has been a very busy month, especially as so many of our volunteers have now returned to the U.S for the summer. It began with a call from Panama City. A Jaguar Cub was being offered for sale to the expat community - illegally of course. The Summit Zoo could not take it and we were asked if we could help. That night at about midnight, my good friend Roy and I set off to drive through the night with the intention of being on their doorstep at dawn and then to turn around and drive back. I have… Continue

More babies

Following the very sad death of little JJ we had not really contemplated having another baby monkey yet but today, we came upon a little Capuchin boy, about 2 months old. Typically, he was tied to a pole on a cord about 2 feet long. Usually, they are on the ground but this time, the little guy was 5 feet off the ground to keep him away from the dogs which jumped at his 'perch' every time he showed his face over the edge. His whole world was a 4ft diameter circle of bare boards and his food suppl… Continue

Maisie and the next generation

Maisie, our Juvenile Howler is now just over a 14 months old and she joined her friend Yahoo, who is a little older, at the sanctuary about a month ago. Everything has gone well and we visit her regularly. She is able to go off into the forest with Yahoo and they have now encountered wild Howlers from troops that live in the area. A couple of days ago a young Howler male visited their enclosure and there were friendly exchanges. Yesterday, the 2 girls went into the forest with Michelle and Yahoo… Continue
