Sun Soaked Spirited Scout
Zafera’s journey to Jungle Friends began when her former guardians noticed her growing depressed and aggressive, a far cry from the vibrant marmoset they once knew. But all that changed the moment she arrived at her new outdoor paradise—it was love at first sight. Now, this spirited and acrobatic marmoset has fully embraced her new life, transforming into a true outdoor enthusiast. Her days are spent happily hunting for bugs, soaking up the sun, and leaping through her personal runway with gymnastic flair.
Ever the curious soul, Zafera has also taken on the role of neighborhood watch, perched atop her enclosure, keeping tabs on all the local action. With a perfect blend of sass and sunbathing, she’s turned what once was a sulk into a lively, sun-soaked adventure.
Novelist Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild, is Zafera’s spirit doppelganger because both found transformation and renewal through nature. Just as Strayed sought healing and rediscovered her strength during her epic hike, chronicled in Wild, Zafera found her true self in the freedom of the outdoors at Jungle Friends.
Zafera’s "Oh, you caught me!" face – always curious, always on alert, and never missing a beat in her outdoor kingdom.
Once withdrawn, now Zafera shines with life as she embraces her role as the sanctuary’s most curious lookout, always eager to see what’s happening around her.
Zafera pauses between her bug-hunting adventures, basking in the freedom that her new home has brought her.
Zafera’s journey from sadness to sass is on full display as she surveys her surroundings, a lively reminder of her newfound love for the great outdoors.
Blending in with the bamboo, Zafera proves that sometimes the best view is from a perch where you can watch the world go by.
Perfectly at home amidst the branches and leaves.
