My Story

Bluebell, a cotton-top tamarin, began a new chapter at Jungle Friends in April 2015, along with 32 others, after the closure of their former laboratory home. Initially paired with another tamarin, circumstances led to their separation. But fortune smiled upon Bluebell—first in the form of Mr. Ed, her beloved companion with whom she shared a deep and joyful bond. From their very first grooming session, the two were inseparable, and Bluebell blossomed under his steady presence.

After Mr. Ed's passing, Bluebell found comfort and connection once more with George, her current partner and constant companion. Their bond grew naturally, and now, Bluebell is rarely seen without George by her side. She’s usually the first monkey up in the morning, ready to greet the day, with George following close behind.

Bluebell especially loves the top of her outdoor habitat and can often be spotted hanging upside down from the roof like it’s her personal playground. With George at her side, she continues to thrive—playful, curious, and full of quiet joy. Her journey is a beautiful reminder of resilience, healing, and the lifelong impact of love and companionship.

Like her spirit doppelganger, Kristen Bell, Blue Bell radiates a playful personality and exudes joy. They both exemplify resilience in facing challenges and finding strength and solace in their relationships. Furthermore, their unwavering devotion and support for their loved ones serve as inspiring examples of loyalty and dedication.

Bluebell says, 'Why so serious?' At nearly 20, she's a star with a playful personality and a heart full of joy, just like Kristen Bell.

Snack time for Bluebell! This little lady loves her blackberries.
