Baby Diego

So as many of you know I have been working on helping to start an education and outreach program for Kevin and Martina Keith. They own a company called Monkey Business Productions which deals mostly with primates, Kevin is one of the only people in the world that actually works hands on with adult in tact male baboons. He even has an adult male Mandrill baboon(the kind from the lion king with the blue and red face:)

Well this is something we have been working on for months now and last week our first baby animal for the new programs came in. His name is Diego and he is a 4 week(almost 5 weeks now) baby white nosed Coatimundi. These are one of my very fave. animals to work with and now I actually get to have one at my house! I am helping to raise Diego along with some other animals that will be coming in the next few weeks, alng with a 6 week old baby red fox and a 4 week old baby patagonian cavy!

He tends to play hard for a few minutes then gets so sleepy he falls asleep whereever he is. He really likes to play with Jacob and chase him around the house.

Here he is our little baby fur ball:) and below is a little video of Diego playing in the house:)
