🚨New babies alert 🚨 😍 Meet the triplets: Matilda, Valentina & Pepe. These baby raccoons (Procyon lotor) arrived early this week at the JRC.

Both spend the night at the nursery, and on Wednesday we rescue their sister. We use the speaker method by recording their cry and playing ...

#khloeupdate Happy weekend from the cutest capuchin monkey, Khloe.🥰 It’s been 3 weeks since Khloe joined the JRC family. We can see how much she keeps growing every day, so far she can move her right leg very well, but her left one is still a bit stiff. She gets her acupuncture therapy 2 times a week to help stimulate her nerves. ☀️Her day consists so far in taking the sun and enjoying her playground, and as soon as her quarantine finishes, she can start spending time with the other monkeys...

Tyrion the baby spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) keeps growing without stopping every day.🥹 He spends his days on a playground in the forest with his surrogate mom who takes care of him while he is outside. ✨Fun Fact about spider monkeys: Sounds produced by a spider monkey include barks, whinnies, squeals, squeaks, and screams. Barks are typically alarm calls. Whinnies and screams can be used as distress calls, and they are also made at dawn and dusk. Check or stories to hear the perfect exa...

🌈 Morgana the keel bill toucan loves to steal the spotlight every time she can. She loves to show her beautiful rainbow beak. 🤡Do you know they are the clowns of the bird kingdom? Keel Bill Toucans can be seen playing with their food on the canopy trees. Not only is it common to see them tossing a small fruit in the air and catching it themselves, but they’ll also toss one up for their neighbor like teenagers with pop-corn. 🍿 😍Morgana is one of our residents and also part of our adoption pr...

🦥 It's weighting day for the sloths in our pre-release enclosure We weigh them every week and keep track of how they are doing in the last step to be released. This enclosure will help them adapt to their natural habitat and allow them to have less contact with humans as possible. 💫We take the sloths in a wheelbarrow, so it's easier to transport the sloths together, making it faster and less stressful for them. 💖 They still have less than a year to be released, you can help with their rehabi...

Do you know the Shock-Free Zone program? ⚡️ The Shock-Free Zone consists of insulating transformers and electrical lines that are currently without insulation. For more than a decade the JRC had been working with the ICE ( Costa Rican Institute of Electricity) to insolate the power line, to avoid the more than 3,000 electrocutions that occur throughout the country each year. You can help the Shock-Free Zone program by donating at https://www.jaguarrescue.foundation/en-us/SupportUs/ShockFreeZo...

#Khloeupdate 🐒 It's been 2 weeks since Khloe, the baby capuchin arrived at the center. If you are not familiar with her story, she came with botflies on her torso and also couldn't move her legs. Since then she has been following acupuncture therapy sessions to help stimulate her nerves in the legs, and our veterinarian has also been injecting her with vitamins. 🥹 She is improving every day and can move her limbs more every time. Khloe still has a long rehabilitation, but, hopefully, we will...

🥰We are happy to announce that we were able to reunite this mother and baby 3-fingered sloths (Bradypus variegatus).🦥 On May 10, one of the staff members found the baby crying on the floor near the beach. He spotted the mom on the tree, but she was climbing back to the canopy🌳, so he brought the baby for a check-up with the vet, the sloth was healthy and didn't have any injuries. We recorded the cry of the baby and played it near the tree to get the mom's attention, we waited patiently until t...

🥰We are happy to finally introduce Khloe the baby capuchin monkey (Cebus imitator). As you remember, she was found near a banana plantation alone. After her arrival, while checking her, we noticed Khloe had 6 small botflies between her torso and another one around her chest. We successfully removed all of them and cleaned the wounds. While removing the botflies we noticed her legs were not responding. Our vet, Roger, did an X-ray, and we saw she had inflammation in the low part of the spine. H...

🐒 New arrival #rescue 🥺 The JRC wants to introduce this baby capuchin monkey (Cebus imitator) who arrived as an orphan, all the way from Limón. 🐾This baby was found on the ground near a banana plantation.
