Meet our rescue monkeys
Juma is the youngest member of the group, estimated to have been born around 2011. He was found wandering the streets as a stray. His owners were later found and he was confiscated.
He has had a traumatic past and sometimes shows some abnormal behavior as a result of his mistreatment. He is very settled now in his group here at Wild Ireland.We are working to rehabilitate Juma.
Juma was very traumatised by his tragic past. As a result of the abuse Juma sometimes exhibits self harming behavior. The behavior is getting better now that he is in a social group on a large island. We hope that his recovery will continue here at Wild Ireland
