Ndogpassi Jake update
Category: Anne Sofie Meilvang, Cameroon, endangered species, rehabilitation | Date: Oct 07 2009 | By: limbewildlifecentre
I just want to show you some more photos of Ndogpassi Jake, the mandrill we received a month ago.
Jake is doing fine. He is still in quarantine and has more than two months left before he can move on to the enclosure with the other mandrills here. We are trying to give him a lot of enrichment, branches, frozen fruit etc to keep him busy and he loves it! But most of all he loves company and is very happy when we sit outside his cage and talk to him.
We did his health check a few weeks ago, and he seems to be in a good condition, though a bit underweight. While Jake was sedated for the health check we could finally remove the piece of rope he had around his waist when he came here. He looks much better without it!
Best wishes,
Sofie

Such a magnificient looking animal! I’m so happy that you were able to help him and now we just have to patiently wait for him to be united with his own kind.

Wat zijn het toch prachtige dieren. Geweldig dat jullie hem gered hebben. Wat had hij een miserabel leven? Met een ketting vastgebonden aan een autoband. In februari zijn we in Limbe en dan is zijn quarantaineperiode vorbij en leeft hij met soortgenoten. Ik verheug me om jullie allemaal weer te zien en tel de dagen… Hartelijke groet
