Catarina and Jango worked for years in circuses and live together since she arrived at the sanctuary, in 2009. Jango arrived in 2003, castrated and with his teeth pulled off. Catarina is more then 40 years old and worked for more than 30 years of her life in the circus.

Despite the abused lives of the past, Catarina and Jango are very fine and live together in a very healthy way in their enclosure at the Great Apes Sanctuary of Sorocaba/SP. Check the video and the photos bellow:
