Jaguar Rescue Center

This woodpecker would NOT leave me alone!

Sloth in a treehouse

Sharing a snack

TODAY IS OUT FIRST DAY AT THE JAGUAR RESCUE CENTER! All of us woke up really early (6:30) because we have to start work at 7:30 and it's about a half hour walk. Once we got there we came around the corner and were so amazed to see a sloth hanging out on a tree house, people walking around with monkeys on their backs, and a baby ocelot walking around!  Our boss Nadja showed us around the place, showed us the animals, what we need to do and where to find everything and were to put everything! Then we all went with the next tour group that was coming to get a tour and learn about the animals. Then it's time to actually get to some work! But before we stopped for a lunch break. Afterwards we fed the toucan. Our really big job was to clean the whole monkey cage! It's humongous and fits all the monkeys in it (which is about 15). I needed to wash the windows, clean the climbing stuff, clean the ropes, take away the old food, bring new food and spray EVERYTHING with disinfectant! After our first day at work we walked to the grocery store, got some groceries, then walked to our house. We got home around 4:30 and it gets pitch black around five so we didn't do anything else really except for eating dinner and then going to bed.
