  • A male blue-footed booby tries to catch the attention of his female partner by performing a courtship ritual on Espanola Island in the Galaogos. Apparently, the name “booby” comes from the Spanish word “bobo” which means “clown” or “fool” or ’stupid”. They earned this name because of their clumsy movements on land. Famous for their mating dance, the male booby will spread his wings and lift his blue feet high off the ground to impress his female partner with whom he mates for life.

Rambo is social and had no problem associating with his surrogate mother and any other visitor during his initial time in the quarantine at UWEC.<br />
On arrival at Ngamba Island he directly integrated so well with the likes of Nani, Nakuu, Nkuumwa and later the adult females. Although he is not afraid of the big- boys (Tumbo, Maisko and Sunday) he has great reservation and always keeps close to an adult female. 03/15/ Julia Cumes/IFAW

Her eyes were puffy due to dehydration and she had a big hard stomach with no hair on it.<br />
She pretty much wants to own everything, she screams until she is given what she wants including sticks and all other small enrichment materials. When she is scared, Sara runs to her surrogate mother, Connie. She likes riding on Connie’s back. 03/15 Julia Cumes/IFAW
