One day the rangers from Kahuzi Biega national park arrived with a young owl face monkey. They had taken him off someone keeping him as a pet. He seem friendly as he was being carried in someone’s arms. He had old scars around his waist from a cord, but the new cord around him was loose and plastic. He was very hungry and devoured a huge banana straight away. As he is quite young he doesn’t have his white stripe on his face yet, but his eyes are very big and he is very cute! As it was only a few days until Christmas we thought a suitable name for him would be Noel, and the keepers approved. He was put into a cage for quarantine and settling down, but because he is so friendly he gets lots of tickles and attention everyday.
