Seven years of trust, built quietly over time. Tha Seven years of trust, built quietly over time.
Thayah may be called a wild animal, but moments like this remind me that the deepest bonds don't always need words. She trusts me enough to fall asleep on my chest, completely at peace, and I trust her just as deeply.

There is something incredibly humbling about earning the trust of an animal. It cannot be demanded or forced. It is simply given, little by little, until one day you realize that two completely different species have learned to feel safe in each other's presence.

That kind of trust is something I will never take for granted. ❤️🦊

Trust isn’t one sided. She trusts me with her wild Trust isn’t one sided.
She trusts me with her wild heart, and I trust her with my hand between her teeth. ❤️
That kind of bond can’t be demanded from an African Wild Dog or a Human. It has to be earned  from both sides step by step. 🐾

It is with profound sadness that we mourn the pass It is with profound sadness that we mourn the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, Omukama of Tooro.

Our most heartfelt condolences go out to the Royal Family, the people and Kingdom of Tooro, and our entire nation.

Uganda has not only lost a great King and a remarkable young leader, but also a true friend of wildlife and conservation.

For us at CTC Conservation Center, this loss is deeply personal. His Majesty was a regular and most welcome visitor to our home, and we will forever treasure the memories of the time he spent with us and his genuine interest in the animals and conservation work so close to our hearts.

His Majesty understood that protecting Uganda's extraordinary natural heritage is part of protecting the legacy we leave for generations to come. His support and passion for conservation will not be forgotten.

We feel incredibly privileged to have known him, to have welcomed him to CTC, and to now carry these memories with us.

Rest in eternal peace, Your Majesty. Your life was far too short, but your legacy will live on.

Omukama Atulize. Enkuba Etutire. 🕊️🇺🇬

The entire CTC Conservation Center family

The thin line between life and death. ❤️🐴 The last The thin line between life and death. ❤️🐴
The last two days have reminded us just how fragile life can be.

After a very difficult birth, we feel incredibly fortunate to have both mother and foal with us today,  and seeing them walking peacefully together on the green fields of CTC, makes every difficult moment worthwhile.

Working with animals teaches you many things, but perhaps one of the greatest lessons is how thin the line between life and death can be. Things can change within minutes, and every life saved and every new life born is something never to take for granted.

Today, we are simply grateful. Welcome to the world, little one. 🌿🐴❤️

Meet some of our beautiful captive-born side-strip Meet some of our beautiful captive-born side-striped jackals (Lupulella adusta).
Unlike their better known black backed cousins, side striped jackals prefer wetter, more densely vegetated habitats such as woodland, bushland, grassland and marshes, making Uganda excellent natural habitat for the species.
They are also remarkably adaptable omnivores. Alongside insects, rodents and other small animals, wild fruits can form a surprisingly important part of their diet. One study in Zimbabwe found that roughly a third of their diet consisted of fruit.
Side striped jackals usually live alone, in pairs or small family groups, and breeding pairs form strong, often long lasting monogamous bonds. They are also highly vocal, one of their characteristic calls is described as an unusual owl-like hoot rather than the classic jackal howl.
Small, intelligent, adaptable and often overlooked,  one of Africa's most fascinating little predators. ❤️🐾

Meet four of Africa's most misunderstood carnivore Meet four of Africa's most misunderstood carnivores.

Our striped hyena family consists of one individual from Germany 🇩🇪 and three from Benin 🇧🇯. In Uganda, striped hyenas are now considered critically endangered, with only a tiny population remaining, mainly in the Karamoja region.

Often feared and unfairly blamed for livestock losses, they are frequently poisoned by cattle keepers. In reality, striped hyenas are nature's clean-up crew, feeding largely on carrion and helping to prevent the spread of disease by removing carcasses from the environment.

Unlike their larger spotted cousins, striped hyenas are generally shy, elusive and prefer to avoid conflict with both people and predators.

At CTC Conservation Center, we hope that by allowing people to see these remarkable animals up close, we can replace fear with understanding and inspire greater appreciation for one of Uganda's most overlooked species. 🖤🐾

The unmistakable call of the Red Ruffed Lemur (Var The unmistakable call of the Red Ruffed Lemur (Varecia rubra)! ❤️🖤
These loud, far-carrying vocalisations are one of the defining characteristics of this remarkable species. In the wild, Red Ruffed Lemurs use these calls to communicate with other family members, defend their territory, maintain contact through Madagascar's dense rainforest, and alert one another to potential predators.
Unlike many other primates, Red Ruffed Lemurs rely heavily on vocal communication, and their calls can carry over surprisingly long distances through the forest canopy.
Sadly, this beautiful species is Critically Endangered, with wild populations continuing to decline due to habitat loss and hunting in their only natural home, the rainforests of the Masoala Peninsula in north-eastern Madagascar.
CTC Conservation Center is proud to be the only public wildlife facility on mainland Africa where visitors can observe Red Ruffed Lemurs, giving guests a unique opportunity to learn about one of the world's rarest primates while raising awareness for its conservation.
Every species has a story worth protecting, and sometimes, that story begins with a call echoing through the forest. 🌿🐒
