Maya, a young female Bonnet macaque a busy place of urban Bengaluru. She had been kept as a pet, which likely contributed to her initially being very active, curious, and playful, yet completely unaware of her true identity as a monkey. Upon arrival, she was found to have an oral deformity and was kept under quarantine to ensure her health and to begin the crucial process of integrating her into a natural macaque social structure. Despite her unique background, her appetite for fruits and vegetables was good. After a month of observation, she was moved to a larger enclosure with other young macaques. The goal was to help her learn the natural behaviours and social dynamics of a Bonnet macaque troupe. Interestingly, Maya has since become quite assertive within the group, often displaying a “pesky” and active demeanour, even to the point of bullying newer macaques. This newfound assertiveness highlights her adaptation to a more natural social hierarchy, albeit with some challenging behaviors .Passively adopt and aid Maya enabling her back to the wilderness.

Tridev, a young male Bonnet macaque from a busy street of Bengaluru with severe electrocution burns. He presented with affected limbs, a foul odour, and singed hair across his body, indicating a high-voltage electrical shock sustained while attempting to cross the road via electric wires. Despite a grim prognosis, treatment with antibiotics, painkillers, and anti-burn ointments began immediately. His appetite improved significantly with effective pain management. However, the electric current caused complete necrosis in three of his limbs—both forelimbs and his right hindlimb—necessitating amputation. This left him with only his left forelimb intact, ruling out his release back to his natural habitat. Tridev will now reside at BRC for lifelong care. Despite his profound handicap, his spirit remains undimmed; he displays remarkable determination and grit, proving himself agile, mobile, and happy. Once his wounds healed, he was moved to a larger enclosure equipped with platforms, swings, and branches to encourage movement and play, alongside other young macaques for companionship. Tridev thrives in this environment, energetically navigating the space and often engaging in playful “bullying” with other macaques. He has a remarkable ability to help and heal, often guiding other macaques back to their natural behaviors. Passiveey support Tridev and similar traumatized specially abled mokeys.
