🐾 Meet Lambda, Nu, Kappa, Mu, and Iota.

🥺 Our nursery's newest patients! Last week, in addition to the flamingo, MINAE brought us five siblings, Mexican mouse opossums, one of the smallest opossum species. Although they’re juveniles, they are so tiny that we have to use a micro-scale to weigh them.

🌳 All five were found alone. They arrived a bit wet but otherwise in good condition, with no visible issues. They were immediately transferred to our nursery, where our team will care for these tiny siblings until they grow stronger. Once they’re ready, they’ll move on to our rehabilitation area and, eventually, be rewilded.

💫 Help us continue rescuing and caring for vulnerable wildlife. Donate today and be part of their journey back to the wild.

🦩 Last Friday, MINAE contacted us about a flamingo in need of help. This bird has been living around the Caribbean coast since September 2024. A kind neighbor rescued the flamingo after finding it lying on the beach. He was brought to us later that day.

🩺 He arrived in very poor condition, weak, extremely skinny, and suffering from hypothermia. Our vet checked for any wounds; he had minor wounds around his body. He was immediately started on a treatment plan with fluids, vitamins, and antibiotics. We also set up a quarantine area with a heat lamp and some food so he could rest for the night.

💫 He's already looking better and becoming more active, but we’ll have to monitor how his recovery progresses.

✨ Stay tuned to our stories this week to learn more about this brave flamingo.

🦩 El pasado viernes, MINAE nos contactó sobre un flamenco que necesitaba ayuda. Este ave ha estado viviendo en la costa caribeña desde septiembre de 2024. Un amable vecino lo rescató después de encontrarlo acostado en la playa. Fue traído a nuestro centro ese mismo día.

🩺 Llegó en muy malas condiciones: débil, extremadamente delgado y con hipotermia. Nuestro veterinario lo examinó y encontró heridas menores en su cuerpo. De inmediato se inició un plan de tratamiento con fluidos, vitaminas y antibióticos. También preparamos un área de cuarentena con una lámpara de calor y algo de comida para que pudiera descansar durante la noche.

💫 Ya se ve mejor y está más activo, pero tendremos que seguir de cerca cómo evoluciona su recuperación.

✨ Mantente atento a nuestras historias esta semana para conocer más sobre este valiente flamenco.

😮 A few days ago, our team rescued a baby armadillo that was found alone. This tiny armadillo was probably just a few hours old—she still had her umbilical cord attached. She didn’t have any major injuries, just a few scratches on her side and neck. Our vet gave her fluids and placed her in an incubator to keep her warm.

🐾 She’s a nine-banded armadillo. They’re expert diggers and can create complex burrow systems for shelter and protection. In her case, she’s far too small to dig just yet, but she loves hiding in her little box and covering herself with blankets.

💫 This little one needs a name, and we’re open to suggestions!

Our amazing vet team came to the rescue of a little bat last week. Meet Fan! 🦇

😅 Fan got his name after a not-so-lucky encounter with a ceiling fan inside a house. The impact caused a fracture in his right wing that required surgery. Our skilled vets inserted a small pin to help the bone heal in the correct position.

🩺 Since then, Fan has been on antibiotics and anti-inflammatories to manage pain, along with fluids and vitamins to keep him strong.
Now, it’s all about recovery. We’ll be working on regaining his strength and testing his flight ability before planning for his release.

💫 Every rescue counts. Help us continue saving wildlife like Fan by donating today.

💫 Last week, we shared the story of a white-tailed deer rescued by firefighters after getting stuck in a deep mud well, struggling to get out. He spent three days under our care, regaining his strength.

🦌We’re happy to share that on Saturday, we teamed up with the fire department, Fuerza Pública, and SINAC to transport and release him in Gandoca Manzanillo.

🚒 A big thank you once again to the fire department for their quick action. We’re so glad this beautiful deer is now back in the wild, where he belongs.

-----------------------------------------------------------

💫 La semana pasada compartimos la historia de un venado cola blanca que fue rescatado por los bomberos después de quedar atrapado en un pozo de lodo, luchando por salir. Estuvo bajo nuestro cuidado durante tres días, recuperando fuerzas.

🦌 Nos alegra contarles que el sábado unimos fuerzas con el cuerpo de bomberos, la Fuerza Pública y el SINAC para transportarlo y liberarlo en Gandoca Manzanillo.

🚒 Muchísimas gracias nuevamente al cuerpo de bomberos por su rápida acción. Estamos felices de saber que este hermoso venado está de vuelta en la naturaleza, donde pertenece.

Yesterday, we welcomed the rescue of a male white-tailed deer, brought in by the Bribri Fire Department. 🚒

🥺 The poor deer had been stuck in a well full of mud. We're not sure how long he was trapped, but he was clearly exhausted and had been fighting hard to get out. The incredible team of firefighters managed to pull him out using a harness, carefully and safely rescuing him. He was completely covered in mud, frightened, and worn out.

🩹 The deer was brought to the center, where our vet examined him, cleaned him, and administered fluids and vitamins to keep him hydrated. We're doing everything we can to keep him as stress-free as possible, making him comfortable and minimizing muscle strain to prevent myopathy, a muscle disease caused by extreme stress, in this case, likely from being trapped in the well for an extended period. Our team also gently bandaged his eyes to help him stay calm and used protective tubing around his antlers.

🤩 We’re incredibly grateful to the Bribri Fire Department for their amazing work rescuing this animal and giving him a second chance at life.

💫 We’ll keep you updated on his recovery and, hopefully, his release.

---------------------------------------------

Ayer recibimos el rescate de un venado cola blanca macho, traído por el Departamento de Bomberos de Bribri. 🚒

🥺 El pobre venado había quedado atrapado en un pozo lleno de lodo. No sabemos cuánto tiempo estuvo atrapado, pero estaba claramente exhausto y había luchado con todas sus fuerzas para salir. El increíble equipo de bomberos logró sacarlo con un arnés, rescatándolo con cuidado. El venedado estaba completamente cubierto de lodo, asustado y agotado.

🩹 Fue llevado al centro, donde nuestro veterinario lo examinó, lo limpió y le administró líquidos y vitaminas para mantenerlo hidratado. Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para que no sufra estrés, manteniéndolo cómodo y minimizando la tensión muscular para prevenir la miopatía, una enfermedad muscular causada por estrés extremo, en este caso, probablemente por estar atrapado en el pozo durante un período prolongado. Nuestro equipo también le vendó los ojos para ayudarlo a mantener la calma y le colocó un tubo protector alrededor de las astas.

🤩 Agradecemos enormemente al Cuerpo de Bomberos de Bribri por su increíble labor al rescatar a este animal y darle una segunda oportunidad.

💫 Los mantendremos informados sobre su recuperación y, con suerte, su liberación.

🐚 Our first sea turtle rescue of the year!

🪸 Meet this juvenile green sea turtle who was in desperate need of help.
She was found in Manzanillo, extremely weak and barely moving, though she responded slightly when handled. Our team quickly gave her fluids and took X-rays to check for internal issues. The results showed some fish bones in her belly, but nothing unusual.

🌊 As days passed, she became more active. Just a few days ago, we moved her to one of our large pools, and she’s been showing us her swimming skills ever since! We're feeding her seaweed from the beach and some sardines, and she’s eating well.

✨ We’re hopeful she’ll continue getting stronger so we can release her back into the ocean where she belongs.

With a broken heart, we say goodbye to a beloved member of our family, Danielle.

Danielle was part of our lives for more than 13 years. For those who had the chance to meet and work with her, you know how passionate and dedicated she was to the animals. She was fearless, caring, and always quick to laugh, especially at herself.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had such an amazing person supporting our mission, but even luckier to have called her our friend. There are no words to express how much we’ll miss her, and mostly Pappetta. And don’t worry, Danielle, if a volunteer isn’t cleaning properly, we’ll make sure they do it your way.

Fly high. 🕊️

We love you Danielle. 🤍

We’re in urgent need of heat lamps! 🔥

😮 Even though we’re in the Caribbean, the nights can get cold. Some of the animals in our care are too weak to regulate their body temperature and need extra warmth to survive. Right now, our clinic is caring for over 45 animals, but we don’t have enough heat lamps for everyone who needs one.

Unfortunately, these specific lamps are not available over here. If you're planning a visit soon, we’d be incredibly grateful if you could bring one or more with you!

🤔 Wondering if you can ship it instead?
International shipments of this product often face customs clearance issues in Costa Rica, which can lead to delays or, worse, the donation not arriving at all.

✨ Please consider helping us by bringing heat lamps when you visit. Your support means a lot to us and the animals.
