Thumb Sucking Escape Artist
Meet Harriett Houdini, the pint-sized escape artist who lives up to her legendary namesake. Much like the famed Harry Houdini, Harriett has a talent for slipping out of even the most secure confinements. With three successful jailbreaks to her name, this mischievous maven had earned her reputation long before she found her forever home at Jungle Friends.
Now settled in sanctuary life, Harriett has traded in her grand escapes for more playful antics. Her favorite pastime? Sneakily making the clips on the feeding baskets vanish, a nod to her former life of daring escapes. But her mischievous streak doesn't stop there—she loves a good rough-and-tumble session with her partner-in-crime, Scotti, showing that even in her quieter days, she’s still full of energy.
At just a tiny size, Harriett is known for an adorable quirk: sucking her thumb during moments of rest, reminding everyone that behind the trickster persona is a gentle soul. These days, she’s embraced the peace and camaraderie of sanctuary living, enjoying five-star care and the company of her fellow monkey friends. While her Houdini days may be behind her, the spirit of adventure is never far away in Harriett’s world.
Harriett's spirit doppelganger is none other than Harry Houdini, as both share an uncanny ability to escape from any situation with a mix of daring, finesse, and a mischievous twinkle in their eye.
