Our naming contest has ended and our sweet, new ambassador has a name! Meet Lily!

Lily was part of an FWC investigation and placed with BTN for safe housing. She has since become a volunteer favorite as she has spent some time residing in our clinic. Soon, she will be visible on our Wildlife Walk for all to meet her! Lily is a Marmoset.

Marmosets are tiny, tree-dwelling New World monkeys native to South America. They’re known for their specialized diet of tree sap and cooperative family groups.

Mainly due to their size, these primates end up in illegal pet trades and are often discarded because of their need for specialized care and also, their aggressive behavior.

Lily has found a forever home here at the refuge, welcome home ❤️
