Thank you so much for all of your help, we love you!
The Jungle Friends Family
Wendell is an elderly capuchin who just arrived at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary. Although Wendell has had some rough times, he is having a great time doing 'monkey things' with Buddie and Cosmo!
At Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary we believe the highest state a primate can achieve is the 'play state'! When the monkeys at Jungle Friends play, we know we have done our job!
Carli was a 'helper monkey' for a paraplegic and Andy was a 'surrogate child' for a motorcycle racer, both ended up at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary and found romance.
It's love at first sight when Tripoli and Freyja meet! These two elderly cotton-top tamarins were both retired from laboratory research to sanctuaries. After both lost their long-time companions to old age, Freyja traveled over a thousand miles, from Texas to Florida, to find a new friend at Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary.
Carli, the new girl at Jungle Friends, has made fast friends with the latest canine arrival, Potter. Not every monkey can have her own puppy, but it works for these two.
