After three weeks of dedicated care at the WFFT wildlife hospital, Wang, a wild long-tailed macaque from a local temple, successfully recuperated and was released back to his habitat.
Rescued – One-year-old Long-Tailed Macaque
Noo Deang (Red Rat) is a one-year-old Long-tailed macaque that was purchased illegally from Facebook when she was a tiny baby. As with most wild animals that are kept as pets she grew and started to become aggressive, it was the final straw when she bit her owner. They then called WFFT for help in providing her with a new home. She should not have been purchased in the first place but luckily her owners saw sense and she will now have chance to be a monkey again. We have numerous groups of similar aged macaques so watch this space for updates on Noo Deang making new friends.
