Jungle Friends had an extra special visit yesterday from the amazing Animal Warriors! The Animal Warriors are a group of dedicated animal advocates who volunteer at various sanctuaries. Since they know how to work around wild animals and are hardworking, they are a real treat to have here!
Jennifer Ruszczyk and Lauren Ebanks arrived in the morning ready for action. Wanting to take advantage of their creativity and experience working with all kinds of animals in various settings, we asked them to put together enriching and creative props that we could grab when cleaning a habitat.
They seized the opportunity to make hose ladders for us, which are a great addition to any habitat and one the monkeys always love. Lauren and Jennifer, with the help of regular volunteer Jessica Grady, went around to our many trees and, using their strong muscles (who needs men!), cut down the limbs needed. They were always being supervised by our residents to make sure the proper limbs were cut.
In no time the ladies had a ladder put together. Making hose ladders are not as easy as these gals make it look, and they put it together so quickly! Wow!
We absolutely love having the Animal Warriors here. Can't wait for their next visit in January!!! A big thanks to the Animal Warriors from all of us here at Jungle Friends, and especially the monkeys!!

We can't wait to make it back! It is so rewarding to see the projects we participate in completed each time we come back. Most importantly it is great to see the monkeys enjoying their habitats and enrichment!
