Penny's journey took a fortunate turn when authorities discovered her in a Craigslist ad in Kentucky, priced at $600 for the exotic pet trade—a practice illegal in the state. This led to her rescue and subsequent arrival at Jungle Friends at the tender age of two.

Now, Penny has a whole lifetime ahead of her to relish her "Almost Wild" existence. The next adventure for Penny involves introducing her to Bobo, who joined the Jungle Friends family just a month before her. Positioned in neighboring habitats, they've been playfully mirroring each other, moving from their outdoor spaces to indoors and back again.

Their fondness for fun and games makes us optimistic about their potential friendship, and we look forward to seeing their bond grow as they explore their new home together.
