Jaguar Rescue Center

On our last proper day we decide to give the Jaguar Rescue Center a try and are not disappointed. Despite there being no jaguar (and never having been one to begin with), there are lots of cute animals Lisa, the volunteer showing us around, knows lots of interesting facts and stories about. We only get to see the permanent residents, ranging from different birds, monkeys and deer being too used to humans, to a caiman and crocodile not being allowed to, to a sloth and ocelot (and many others) being too sick or not able to survive on their own to be released. Some lack certain skills, others are too old, do not see enough, or suffer from infectious diseases. All in all we learn a lot and are deeply impressed by everyone's commitment. Our faith in humanity is restored a bit😄
