Crash is learning how to make friends 🥹 Crash, Crash is learning how to make friends 🥹

Crash, a ringtail lemur and former pet, is making friends with other lemurs for the first time🎉 Ex-pets need some extra time to get to know their new families because they lack the social skills and body language awareness needed to interact with others. Crash is a fast learner and is seen here showing Gigi some love through a protective barrier 🩷

Just a glimpse at one section of our 78 acre sanct Just a glimpse at one section of our 78 acre sanctuary, home to over 300 animals rescued from exploitation 🤍 Want to support us? Send us a message or hit the link in bio to donate so we can keep doing what we do best!
Primarily Primates welcomes our two newest residen Primarily Primates welcomes our two newest residents 🎉These one-year-old male spider monkeys were confiscated in California, and the Wildlife Consfiscations Network later identified them as potential matches for our other baby spider monkey, Felix. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the San Diego Wild Animal Park, and the Wildlife Confiscations Network all collaborated to facilitate their safe transportation- these two cuties arrived in San Antonio on Friday🌞🖤

They did so well on their journey and are eating normally and playing together, which is a great sign. They are in quarantine right now, per protocol, but we are so excited for them to eventually help Felix learn to bond with other monkeys. We can’t wait to learn more about their personalities and help them settle into their new home🤍🤍🤍
An update on our Oregon chimps🤗 Emma is calm, An update on our Oregon chimps🤗

Emma is calm, gentle and still the shyest…but is never timid when it comes to her favorite fruit 🥭

Herbie loves being the center of attention and is obsessed with hats and sunglasses 😎 

CJ is very curious, but loves taking naps and snuggling up with her blankets❤️

Jackson loves playing in the water, and assures there’s never a dull moment at the sanctuary 🤪

These habitats give our chimps even more choices because of increased opportunities for enrichment, exercise, socialization and play. This is crucial because animals in sanctuaries need change in their lives since every day in the wild would be different.
This project would not have been possible without Andy Cockrum who helped design the enclosure and playground and without the generosity of our supporters on Giving Day for Apes, which will take place Oct. 7 this year. Mark your calendars! Stay tuned for details.
