Devra’s golden lion tamarin project in Brazil, remarkably successful, but it was a big learning curve on, you know, training animals and how you can adapt the animals to the wild. When they first had them, reintroduced them into the rainforest in Santos, they found out that the animals were used to getting their food, you know, in a tray all cut up, and the mealworms were there and, you know, they didn’t recognize food that they should eat. And they were used to hard, you know, exhibit tree, so they didn’t know that you ran across the vine to the next tree. You ran down the tree and ran across the ground and you ran up the next tree. And that’s when they were the most vulnerable. And just watching that whole, doing the training programs, Milwaukee did it. National started the training programs for animals that are gonna be reintroduced into the rainforest in Brazil. And you could do it with the golden lion tamarins, ’cause they went into a nest at night, so you would close them in at night and they weren’t exposed to everything else.
