Our beloved Siamang Xhabu, who suffered a stroke back in July 2023, has found his voice today and started to sing with his family for the first time in over a year.❣️ We are so proud of this boy. Just look at him ❤️ #strokesurvivor #isleofwight #gibbon 🫶

It has been an emotional day and although this is a tough post for us to write, we feel it is important to update you as our family of supporters, about one of our most special residents, Xhabu. Sadly this morning Xhabu showed symptoms consistent with having a stroke (Part 1/2)
