So funny, I get to work, prep all the animals breakfast, feed the turtles. Yep, I got bit hard, razor sharp teeth. Then, I’m walking back to the kitchen and almost step on a humongous iguana. He was mad and whipped his tail at me. Ouch! Quite a day today at the refuge centre. This is a lot of hard work in 100 degree heat all day working. Reminds me when I had a job.
Taking care of Nino right now is the tough case. He’s an injured Capuchin who was missing one toe. He now has eaten his whole foot off and won’t stop. Thankfully, the vet comes weekly and the two biologists onsite do what they can. He’s in quarantine and depressed. He breaks my heart. They’re hoping for surgery and amputate his leg to get him to stop.
Here’s me funny pics of me feeding the three Capuchins. They are so smart. You cannot turn your back on them for an instant. All three can remove a padlock in under 30 seconds. My co-worker/biologist took these pics today. I will share a few here now.
These monkeys make my day all worth it.
All said and done, at the end of the day I’m very dirty and exhausted…but I love the work.
Out of the snow and into the heat
