posted in 10 Nov 2010

After 48 hours of a trip from Lebanon to Brazil and 18 hours from the liberation at Guarulhos International Airport and the truck trip from São Paulo to Paraná, chimpanzee Onega finally arrived at GAP Sanctuary in São José dos Pinhais – Anami Conservationist Institute around 2pm today. Omega’a journey started in the other side of the world on Monday 8.

At the airport Omega had been fed and happily was in good health condition, despite being very tired from the trip. When he arrived at the sanctuary, Omega left the cage and ran inside the quarantine enclosure, looking and exploring everything. It is estimated that Omega will be kept in quarantine for a month, and will be accompanied by a specialist keeper until he will be transferred to his definitive enclosure.
