We picked up a young Vervet from Leisure Lodge Hotel on Wednesday. She had been seen to be involved in a fight with another monkey & had fallen out of a tree. This left her in quite a bad way. She had been sick all over herself and had a large lump on her head. Plus, one of her eyes was not opening properly. We took her in and cared for her for 3 days, 2 nights. By this time she seemed to have made a full recovery and was rather befuddled by her situation. So, yesterday afternoon, we took her back to where she came from, with the intention of releasing her. We found the troop she came from very easily & the release when well, with no trouble at all. She ran straight back to her friends and apart from being a bit worked up and noisy she seemed fine. This left all involved very happy, as releases rarely go according to plan & this one went perfectly!
