Shower Time For Luna

Luna Eating Her Banana

Luna is our female Bonnet Macaque. She is three in half month old. She loves her shower time and pacifier. We started her diet with banana for the very first time, with a bottle of formula milk every four hours and soon will start eating solid foods.

The Bonnet Macaque has a very wide range of gestures and behavior which can be easily differentiated.  They do a lot of “Lip smacking” is one of the most common behavior, where one individual may open and close the mouth in rapid movement with tongue in between teeth and lips pressing against each other giving an audible sound.

She is a cutie and we enjoy every minute of her company. You are welcome to check out Luna’s Album for more pictures of her different expressions.

Here are some new additions to ZWF! These baby Tamanduas will just melt your heart. The staff here will be working with them so that later on, we will be able to use them for educational presentation and teach people about these beautiful creatures.

Swim with a buddy! In this case it was Titan our tiger!

We recently  put Titan in the pool for the first time, so that he can get used to swimming, and it was a very hot day here so it was a little treat for him to cool off! At first, Titan was a little cautious, and wanted nothing to do with the pool, but then as we got in and started splashing the water it really drew his attention over and he wanted to play with the water, after a little love and guidance, we gave him a little tug, and Titan was in the water! The minute he got in he LOVED it! Titan started swimming around, jumping off the steps so he can swim towards us, and at one point he even went to the deeper side with me, while he was swimming right behind me. We were so proud of Titan. Now that Titan is used to the water, we will be doing this on a usual basis. It’s great exercise too! To see all the photos from Titans swimming adventure then click here to see us swimming with the tiger!
