Primate Win

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.
