Caroline and Marcel	Marcel with Oliver

Poncho

We took him to the Friend Foundation on Saturday 26 November as they are soon to drive down to Chipangali with half a dozen or so other vervets of similar age for the 'rehab into the wild' process to start.

From a cowering, terrified, malnourished wreck, Caroline has made Poncho into a confident little vervet who is now more than ready to start his rehab.
Here is a picture of Caroline and Poncho at Friend Foundation just before he was put with the other vervets. He was not keen to let go of Caroline at first but by the time we left, he was starting to come out of his shell and the others seemed to be making him welcome.

We visited again on Sunday and watched him, from a distance. He knew we were there as he heard the car and then saw us but he seems quite happy and at home.

Hopefully Caroline will go with Christine Dean from Friend Foundation down to Chipangali in the next couple of weeks with Poncho and the others - fuel permitting.
