A happy day at the sanctuary

It was a wonderful, relaxing day at the sanctuary - except for one minor incident.  Solomon (Barbary Macaque) got out, just into the security area.  We grabbed some bannanas and brave Sarah went in with him - Solomon calmly followed her back into his enclosure.  The Macaques are very placid and gentle.  This afternoon, we opened the trap door between their enclosures so that they could all have direct contact with each other again.  They were all very friendly towards each other.  We put a large tub of water in for them and they all had fun splashing around - it was lovely to see.  We were feeding them a lot of treats and everyone was enjoying them - except for Shapken (Mona monkey) who had a hissy fit when he saw us feeding them treats.

This afternoon, volunteers went in with their favourite monkeys - so we all had a relaxed and happy monkey day.
