Dear Kari,
Today we honor our "Monkey Mothers"
At Jungle Friends, motherhood takes many forms—from devoted surrogates to mothers who’ve finally been given the chance to raise their own. Today, we celebrate three extraordinary monkeys whose love and devotion have transformed lives: Monkers, Zumie, and Michelle.
In the wild, monkey mothers care for their babies for years, forming deep, lifelong bonds. But in the pet trade, these bonds are often violently broken. Babies stolen from their mother's arms far too soon, leaving lasting emotional scars.
Here, we work every day to help heal those wounds—with love, patience, and the incredible dedication of monkeys like Monkers, Zumie, and Michelle. Their stories are reminders of the power of love, resilience, and second chances.
