Jimisett, a 10-year-old common marmoset, came to Jungle Friends in the early spring of 2005. His name was Jimmy, but he turned out to be a she so a small name change was in order. She arrived from the Humane Society of Tennessee with Lucy, a weeper capuchin. All we know of her history was that she had been a pet and had lost her mate of several years not long before coming to Jungle Friends.
While Jimisett was very enthusiastic about all of the new sights and sounds, she would still 'lost call' from time to time, looking for a friend. Luckily for Jimisett, a new friend was found. Late in 2005 another marmoset, Mojo Jojo, joined the Jungle Friends residents, and it was love at first sight for this happy couple.
