Mugwai And Gremlin Welcome Their First-Born!

RSS Archive

Hi, I'm Jess, and I'm 22. I live out in the English countryside.

I love all animals, but I've always had a soft spot for Primates.

I have a diploma in Primatology, and another in Zoology. I have a BA (Hons) degree in Media, which I wish I'd never done.

I have recently become a voluntary Ambassador for Wild Futures, a UK based primate charity and sanctuary.

I'm also a huge Potterhead, and would have studied Care of Magical Creatures at NEWT level if only my letter hadn't gotten lost in the Muggle post.

Mugwai And Gremlin Welcome Their First-Born!

Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne, U.K. is proud to announce the arrival of a baby Lar Gibbon born to mother Mugwai and father Gremlin on Thursday 5th January 2012. Mother and Baby are doing very well. Section Leader of Primates, Steve Goodwin says, “This is the first baby for Mugwai, but she is proving to be a really good mum. We haven’t been able to get close enough to sex the baby yet, and we’re excited to find out if it is a boy or a girl.”

Also known as a White-headed Gibbon, this endangered species is threatened in the wild by habitat destruction, the illegal pet trade, and poaching.
