Have you ever hear about kinkajous before🧐?

They are known as honey bears🐻🍯 and that's probably an accurate name as they are from the carnivora family but they eat mainly, fruits, flowers, nectar, insects and of course honey.

Like this little opossum is called Petunia🌺, she arrived without any hair and with her eyes completely closed, she probably fell from her mother and got lost but luckily someone found her and brought her directly to our rescue center.

Now we are seeing her grow every day.

This caiman🐊 (𝘊𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘴) was found way too close to a human populated area so it had to be removed to prevent risks for humans and pets.

He came to our clinic👩🏽‍⚕️ to check his health and as he was great he was able to go back to nature the day after💧.

✨Do you remember Ezequielin?✨

He is a very special animal for us as he was the first baby👼🏼 in our new nursery.

He is growing up so fast! He already moves around a lot more but he keeps going back to his teddy monkey for comfort🐒, a natural behavior for squirrel monkeys.

⚠️This beautiful toucan was hitten by a car⚠️

Car accidents🚗 is one of the main reasons why animals arrive to our rescue center and usually the prognosis is very bad, the best way to help them is prevention‼️

Please drive slow in places where wildlife could cross⚠️

Enjoy señor Donna having his favourite meal, leafs🍃

In the wild the diet of the sloths is based basically on leafs, as this food is very poor in nutrients it doesn't give them too much energy and that's the main reason for sloths being soooooo slow🦥.

Clyde was part of a reintroduction program to release orphaned squirrel monkeys🐒.

We were able to release most of them. Unluckily Clyde was one of the few that didn't pass the "test" as he show some abnormal behavior, was smaller and wasn't vocalizing to the other animals.

When you think about a primate🦧 one of the most characteristic things are their hands👐, with a thumb that allows them to manipulate objects. But there are two exceptions to this rule, the colobus monkeys and the spider monkeys, like our Darwin in the photo.

This is George, a 🔥Fiery-billed Aracari🔥 that arrived to us with a fracture on his wing. He got a bandaged to prevent him from moving it too much and he is getting physiotherapy every week to improve the movement on his wing🦅.

Do you know why you should never have a primate as a pet?🧐

There are multiple reasons but the main ones are:

Can be dangerous⚠️ 

Has a great impact on wild populations 🐒

No adaptation to the live in captivity🏡.

Owl season started at Kids Saving The Rainforest🦉!

Do you remember Chill? The pygmy owl that we received in our clinic a few weeks ago? Now he has a new best friend, Misty💖

This two little guys already eat alone but they'll need a few more weeks survive alone.

✨Arfonzito update✨

Arfonzito is doing great! Both wounds, the one on his tail and the one on his feet are almost completely close and don't need a bandage any more🎉

It looks like he won't be able to go back to the wild🌴, but he'll stay in our sanctuary.

What fruit do you prefer🧐?

Banana🍌, classic yes, but never disappointing.

Papaya🥭, exotic and very tasty.

Our kinkajous have it clear, Hilary is in the banana team, while Julian is all for the papaya🤤.
