In June, a tiny, injured white-lipped peccary wandered onto the grounds of the Jaguar’s Jungle Lodge. He was just a few days old, alone, and had a hole all the way through his leg. We named him Wink, and over the next few months, we dedicated ourselves to his rehabilitation. Against all odds, his leg completely healed, and he grew into the most playful, energetic peccary you could ever meet.
But now, Wink needs our help again. 🆘 MINAE has taken him and placed him in a wildlife rescue center, but his current enclosure could be better. White-lipped peccaries are endangered, and Wink has the potential to be part of a breeding program to help repopulate this species in the wild—but he needs proper space, enrichment, and care to thrive. The sanctuary he was placed in is underfunded but willing to accept help.
That’s why we’re launching a GoFundMe campaign to build Wink the best, most enriching enclosure possible—one where he can run, root, and live his best peccary life.
🌱 Your donation will help:
✔️ Build a large, naturalistic enclosure
✔️ Provide his favorite foods for proper nutrition
✔️ Support his ongoing care and enrichment
We rescued Wink once, and now he needs us again. Let’s give him the home he deserves and ensure he thrives for years to come!
To be clear, this is not a criticism of MINAE or the sanctuary. Just a campaign to give him the best enclosure imaginable.
