The two capuchin monkeys JayJay and Momo were given away by their old owners, because they were very sick and thy couldn’t take care of them anymore. So I went several times to the doctor to make sure that the get well and strong and within that, they found their new home at the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis. They originally come from the Amazon and therefore can’t be released in South Africa as this is not their natural environment. They are now one of the closest members of the family. Momo is more the quiet one, who also cuddles from time to time and Jay Jay is the excited rowdy who is always looking for attention. Since Capuchin monkey live in nature in big clans, I decided to rescue additionally two females that Momo and JayJay can live together with them as a family. Due to that Lupita and Aisha joined the Hakuna Mipaka family in beginning of 2023.
As soon as possible we aim to finish THE DOME for the entire monkey family, that they can live as wild and free as possible. Support the new home of JayJay, Momo, Lupita and Aisha with your donation.
