Her owner loved her as an infant, but when she grew up & started to BITE...
23 year old Stump Tailed Macaque "Bam Bam" spent the next 18 years of her life locked in the cage
pictured below, (& close up photo top right) before she was rescued and transported to the OPR
facility. She suffered in silence for so long. No enrichment, inadequate diet, and breathing black mold &
algae spores for so many years caused critical physical & emotional problems which ultimately claimed
her life in November 2005. We will never forget Bam Bam and her will to survive...
Raised as a 'human' infant.... But then she 'grew up'...
Soothing her old bones with
warmed blankets...

our peace is knowing that the last 9 months of her life
were enriched. She felt the warm sunshine, she heard
birds twilling in the distance & she enjoyed
companionship from other monkeys. Bam Bam will be in
our hearts forever.
