Now, picture a lush jungle setting, elephants trumpeting, native drums pounding out a catchy rhythm. What does this add up to? “George, George, George of the Jungle Friends…”

Yes, George arrived rather unexpectedly and is fitting in very well with “Jungle” life. George, a brown capuchin, was a ‘pet’ for 18 years. He attacked his previous owner so many times that eventually the owner had all of George’s teeth removed, in hopes of coexisting with a wild animal. Unfortunately, these types of drastic measures do not solve the problem. The instinct for dominance is there, and George heard the calling. When the attacks occurred daily, the owner finally said “enough” and George headed to Jungle Friends to be with his own kind.

George arrived on March 11th, and within a short time has made himself at home. He enjoys the large outdoor habitats, and a favorite pastime is taking leaves off the plants and either sampling them himself or offering them to our carestaff. When George is not busy with plant destruction, he is checking out his new girlfriend, Jill. Although Jill has not yet sent George swinging into any trees in blind love, the two have been found snuggled up together in the night. The pair now inspires the carestaff to sing a new song when passing by their habitat... “Hey, there’s George’s girl...”, which he seems to prefer to “Georgie Porgie puddin’ and pie…” George is usually displaying a big play face and he knows that when he finally gets up the nerve to kiss Jill, it won’t make her cry!
