CARLOS MEETS WOLVERINE! SO FAR, SO GOOD
Back in 2012, we rescued a Cuban slider for the first time: Carlos. Carlos had suffered substantial injuries to his shell. We managed to put his shell back together with epoxy and, with daily cleaning and lots of care, he recovered well. Carlos later joined Markos, another Cuban slider, outdoors at our Main Sanctuary Area. However, Markos has always been aggressive towards to Carlos, approaching Carlos to bite him immediately. Unfortunately, we needed to put a barrier between them.
Now, recently rescued Cuban slider Wolverine is ready to move to a bigger enclosure! Wolverine was another case of probable abandonment, and was found with a fishing hook lodged in his mouth, probably ingested as he tried to find food. Due to various complications with regards to the location of the hook, removing it was deemed too risky. Despite this, Wolverine is doing well and has a good appetite.
Wolverine has entered Carloss enclosure, and so far both sliders appear to be getting along just fine! We continue to watch them closely.
