Day Three (June 25th)

     Once again Willy and Arie had a successful day of socializing. While most of their interactions were the "grooming standoffs" we've seen every day so far, they boys spent most of the hour near one another.  However, as seen in day one and two, Willy tried to mount Arie multiple times. Arie has always responded by moving to a different area of the habitat to evade Willy. As the boys have seemed to enjoy each other's company, the only major concerns we noted were that Arie could possibly react violently to Willy's actions, and that Arie needs to remain safe and happy. 

 Once again, Arie and Willy were ready for the socialization to begin!

They boys spent most of their time exploring their habitat

 and observing the rest of the sanctuary together.
