Miguel on the move 💪

Giant anteaters have thick fur and a bushy tail, which can be as long as their body and is used for balance and as a blanket while sleeping.

As you can see in the second slide, they walk on the outer edges of their front feet to protect their claws. Strong forelimbs with large, curved claws are used to tear open nests and provide defense in the wild.

In the third slide, you can see Miguel enjoying his food. Giant anteaters have no teeth; instead, they use a long, sticky tongue and powerful saliva to capture insects. Our caretakers provide termite nests and other insects on a regular basis to keep his natural foraging skills sharp.

Thank you to ICAS for their technical support and guidance of our anteater program. Together, we are working to rescue, rehabilitate, and release giant anteaters back to the wild!

The newest permanent resident at RAREC, Jaws 🦈🐾

About four months ago, a puppy was found injured in a ditch outside our rescue center. We rushed him to the clinic and performed X-rays, which revealed multiple pelvic fractures.

The X-rays also revealed a mandible in his stomach (slide 6), which he likely consumed to survive. The name “Jaws” was an obvious choice, and so the recovery process began.

In addition to the fractures, Jaws had two open, infected hock wounds, hookworms, and an ectoparasitic infestation. Our veterinary team treated these conditions, bathed him daily, and took him on short walks during his six weeks of cage rest.

He is now fully healthy and playing with the other dogs on site! As a permanent resident of RAREC, he serves as a source of comfort and emotional support, bringing positive energy wherever he goes.

We are proud of our team for saving Jaws and giving him a great life with our family 💜🐶

Another successful domestic campaign at the local Ex petroleros community 🐶🐱☀️

Our veterinary team made a short trip down the road for a deworming campaign, providing dozens of dogs and cats with the care they need. It was a great opportunity for many of our vet students to learn through hands-on experience.

We extend our gratitude to the Herb and Bui Simon Foundation, the Nashville Zoo, and Zoo World for continuously supporting our mission of community education and veterinary work.

Lucy 🐒💜

The Aquino’s t**i monkey is a very rare species, officially described in 2022. She was originally thought to be a Lucifer t**i monkey, hence her name.

Found exclusively in the Peruvian Amazon, this highly territorial primate is typically found in dense forests between the Nanay and Tigre rivers.

As a rare species, it’s difficult to find a wild population to release her. We are working hard to give Lucy the most fulfilling life possible at RAREC, with a nutrient-dense diet, a spacious enclosure, and daily enrichment.

We would like to thank for their continued support of RAREC. Their funding of key conservation programs allows us to expand our impact, helping save rare species like the Aquino’s t**i monkey.

Full team effort to weigh Newt 💪

We recently weighed Newt again to track his progress as we work to wean him off milk formula and transition him to a solid diet. As you can see, weighing an Amazonian manatee is a monumental group task!

We extend our gratitude to & for supporting our mission. Thank you for helping give manatees like Newt the best opportunity to return to the wild!
