Abby arrived at Jungle Friends on August 2, 2008, when she was just one year old and still on formula. Here she met another baby monkey named Jak who arrived the same day. Abby and Jak have a lot in common. Not only are they the same age, they both have endured a lot of disruption in their short lives as ‘pet’ monkeys. Jungle Friends is the fourth home for both Abby and Jak!
Abby’s last ‘owners’ took her in when she was six months old. As time went by, they began to see that having to wear diapers and being left alone while they were at work was not fair to Abby. So, Abby came to Jungle Friends where she could live a monkey’s life with other monkeys. This time, she is home for good.
Abby is full of spunk and has turned out to be quite the little socialite, chattering and lip smacking to the other young monkeys in neighboring habitats. Abby especially enjoys digging for worms, chewing on the plants and leaping from one perch to the next with lightning speed. At the end of the day, she is ready to have her warm bottle and snuggle in for a good night’s sleep – recharging for more wild antics tomorrow.
