Just got sent some photos by Alix Ortega who was recently at Lola. Lukuru is snuggled up with her water bottle – she is so cute!
i remember seeing her this way when at Lola, when the babies were deep in sleep they hugged their water bottles just as they would hug thier mother’s stomachs. i wondered if they forgot where they were for a while, and were dreaming that they were back in the forest, sleeping on their mum’s tummy.
it made me really sad. but then i am just grateful they made it to Lola and didn’t end up dead from shock or eaten. they grow up happy. i’m glad they have a human like resiliance.
This is Masisi. she started off so sweet and quiet but now she is apparently a little wild thing – swinging all over her night cage and freaking out Lukuru!

OMG, Lukuru is so sweet…and that little sweater…too much! God, this post almost made me cry…a water bottle as surrugate mum…I can barely stand it. I am so glad they have Lola though…and Masisi looks amazing…how is little Pole?
Thank you for such a sweet picture of our little sweater girl. She is gorgeous.
I wonder if the babies do dream of being with their real mamas and hw long the memory remains with them?
Masisi does look really good. Here’s hoping that Lukuru learns not to be so frightened and to be happy.
