África at the dentist!
Here you have a video of that day (a little warning: better not to be watched by people that are afraid of dentists!!)
The time has finally come!!! Africa´s bad teething has finally been revised and repaired (and it was more than one tooth that needed attention). It was a tricky and long procedure, but our beloved dentist Gerardo and his Team, together with our veterinarian Josep did a fantastic job!
We will never know for sure, but her bad teething was probably the result of falling from a tree when Africa and her family were poached in the wild, producing a fracture in her jaw. In continuation due to being an illegally imported exotic animal, there was no veterinarian checking or healing her jar and living in-between humans, eating an inadequate human diet was not helping either. But we finally managed to improve this aspect of her health condition.

(a little warning: better not to be watched by people that are afraid of dentists!!)
We are very happy with the results. After only a few days África started eating normal again. A big success and a big relieve at the same time, knowing that she won´t suffer due to her teeth anymore.
Many thanks to all of you who helped us make all this possible and especially to Montse who funded and donated our new anaesthetic machine. Money well invested, considering that it will make all veterinarian procedures, such as África´s teeth reparation, a lot saver from now on.

Look at Jane, ready to run!
Perhaps you saw that over the last weeks friends of MONA started to fund the MONArunners, participating in official marathons. And now we have our first MONArunner in the UK, Jane decided to run for the primates at MONA trying to help raise some funds for the primates at the Sanctuary.
Jane: “Hi everyone, back in September 2014 my partner & I were fortunate enough to visit MONA and see for ourselves the wonderful work they do every day caring for rescued chimpanzees and other primates in need. I am running the Vitality Reading Half Marathon for MONA because they are dedicated to the welfare of primates!!”
Have a look and support her cause!!!
If you also feel like raising some funds for MONA, be it by challenging yourself like Jane or in any other way, feel free to contact us at info@mona-uk.org and we are happy to help you setting it up!

Winter is coming!
Yes we are in Spain… yes we typically have a lot of sun and normally tend to suffer from hot instead of cold weather… but still we get some cold days here as well.
