We follow her as she goes in search of an otter she hasn't seen for a year. Having to face caiman, predatory fish and territorial wild otters, what are their chances of survival once they are ready to leave her care?

    Wow, she is got a lot of energy for a 74 year old woman. If her finances are so bad, then she should set up a go fund me page, I am sure animal lovers would donate to her cause, I know i would definitely donate something. She seems like the kind of lady that if she had her last $5 dollars she would rather feed her animals then her self, she is the the kind of person that you just know donations would not go to waste with her in charge. It pisses me off that people all over the world donate money to these huge charity organizations, where the organizers fill their own pockets with money first before giving what ever is left over to people in need and this poor old woman is having a hard time surviving because she gets very little financial help. I really wish I could help her some how get more money for her sanctuary but I don't even know where to start and how to contact her to set up something.

      Many of these documentaries posted to CZcams are old and those we admire in them already passed on. Had their efforts been during this time where people can easily donate & support them via social media I wonder how much more they could’ve accomplished? 😕 But it makes me more determined to try and find those doing such things today and offer any support I can. But alas they seem very rare.

    Don’t know if they do this or can afford to do this in that country, but a donkey, mule, jackass, or whatever... will protect the horses, cattle, sheep, or whatever. I’m not sure how they’d do if THEY were the target of a silent stalking jaguar, but they might get the upper hand if a jag went for a herd member first. One kick or bite from a donkey and that jaguar won’t want to tangle again with an animal that could permanently injure it. They use them here in the states to guard against panther/mountain lion, cougar all names for basically the same animal, just in different regions. Anyway, my point is, for someone who wanted to help save jaguars, would it not be a good idea to donate donkeys to the farmers? The farmers could breed their donkeys, milk the donkey, that would pay for its feed and care and they can replenish their own “supply” as older ones pass away. Am I way off here???
