Being a foster mom to monkeys and anteaters is... an interesting job...
These adorable babies lost their mothers to poachers, but were lucky enough to be rescued. Having to be hand-raised at a Wildlife Refuge, they have become very accustomed to people and, unfortunately, won't be able to be released back into the wild. Like so many young ones, although these cuties generally get along just fine, they compete for attention, which is not the easiest thing for their foster mom.
As a mainly nocturnal animal, this 6-month-old Southern Tamandua(Tamandua tetradactyla) usually sleeps during the day, but every once in a while, especially on cooler days, she gets very active during the day, and when she wants you, it's really hard to convince her to leave you alone! Of course that, the more she grows, the more her claws grow, and she only gets stronger and stronger, so having her on you can be quite painful, but anteaters climb on their mothers' back until 6 months of age or so, so of course they want to do the same to their caretakers. She has quite a personality and is not easy to take care of, but who could resist this adorableness?!?!
The Bolivian Red Howler (Alouatta sara) is a species of Howler Monkey that is endemic to Bolivia, which means that it can't be found anywhere else in the world, although it used to be considered a subspecies of Red Howler Monkey (Alouatta seniculus).
The illegal wildlife trade is the third most valuable illicit commerce in the world, losing only to drugs and weapons. That, along with loss of habitat by deforestation, fires, etc., result in an enormous amount of animals in need of rescuing.
Only 1 in 10 animals survive trafficking! Do not support the pet trade! Animals should be free!
