Ducklings Fun Facts:
Even when babies, ducks sleep with one eye open, resting only half of their brain. This behavior helps them stay alert and protect themselves from terrifying predators like snakes or wolves.
Baby ducks produce an oily substance from their preen gland. They spread it all over their body, making their feathers waterproof so they can easily float or fly.

Monkeys are intriguing creatures that have captivated human interest for centuries. From their playful nature to their remarkable intelligence, there is always something fascinating to learn about these charismatic animals. Among the most endearing and adorable of all monkeys are their babies, commonly known as baby monkeys. These pint-sized primates are not only incredibly cute but also possess unique characteristics that set them apart from their adult counterparts.

A rehabilitation and release program for over 500 vervet monkeys.

The Vervet Monkey Foundation (VMF) is a non-profit organization established in 1993. The centre is based in Tzaneen in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. They rehabilitate and provide sanctuary to over 600 primates, orphaned, injured, abused, ex-laboratory or unwanted pets. Thanks to their work, there is much greater understanding of the vervet monkey now, and they are no longer classified as a “nuisance” animal in South Africa. Visit Website.
