Given to a zoo by a loving couple who could no longer keep her, Blair ended up at Jungle Friends in October 2011 after her male companion died. Arie is an ex-pet who arrived here in the Spring of 2011. These two instantly connected and are smitten!
Sammy was recently rescued from a bankrupt zoo and brought to Jungle Friends. He had never lived with another monkey at the zoo and now he has not one, but two girlfriends! Best friends Pippi and Tiki have captured Sammy's heart. Three is the magic number for these happy monkeys!
Dodger is a marmoset monkey who had lost nearly half of his body weight and was having trouble negociating his habitat. We eventually had to take him into our clinic and we have been caring for him there. To learn more about Dodger, go to our Monkeyshines Blog or the Jungle Friends website.
Watch how Dodger is improving and fighting so he can go back to scratching interns and apprentices with Isabelle. He's starting off by attacking the mealworms!
The Jungle Friends monkeys awoke Christmas morning to find lots of presents! There were nuts, toys, cuddly toys, and more nuts all wrapped and ready for tearing in to. A great time was had by all; monkey, dog and human alike. Hope you had a wonderful holiday season!
On December 18th, friends and family gathered to celebrate the birthday for the girl who started all this monkey business, Samantha! Everyone was excited to watch Samantha and her sister, Charlotte, open all the presents that were brought and sent in! The festivities continued for Christmas Tree decorating and lots of yummy food! It was a great evening.
Simon is starstruck when he meets his long time favorite KISS 105.3 DJ, Brett Douglas. After finding out about his biggest little fan, Brett and KISS 105.3 decided to sponsor Simon and make him the official Morning Show mascot.
