Thank You Everyone!

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to the zoo this long weekend. It was a huge success!

Here’s a quick update on Sandy and Penelope, our white handed gibbons. Previously I wrote about Sandy’s quest for a companion and how we think that Penelope may be just what he is looking for. Well last week we decided to introduce them. Things went well for a first encounter. At first Penelope really didn’t know what to think of Sandy, but as the day came to an end she was playing games with him. As Sandy has been a father before, he knew exactly how to deal with Miss Penelope and her childish hair pulling games. Sandy was a true gentleman, comforting Penelope with a kind arm around her shoulder, hoping that she would spend some relaxing time with him. Unfortunately, because Penelope is so young, she is full of energy. This means that Sandy will have his hands full for a while. He defiantly thinks it is worth the extra effort.
