MANCORA
La historia de una mona araña
Mancora, is a spider monkey of the Amazon (Ateles belzebuth), transferred from Amaru Zoo to be cared for by the veterinary neurologist.
She was extracted from the jungle by traffickers, who at the moment of her capture, shot and caused severe damage to her spine, leaving her paraplegic.
The CAT- scan showed a pellet lodged in her medullary canal. In surgery, the veterinary doctors extracted the pellet to reduce the pressure caused by it, as well as the inflammation that followed.
