The secret to the success of this series can be found in its continuous balance between entertainment value and educational content. Offering a unique blend of domestic and exotic animals, Wildlife Nannies captures both the heart and the imagination of its viewers. Take for example the story of Tessa, a diminutive capuchin monkey in care of Ashlei Martin of the Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary in Florida. This segment documents Tessa’s development as she is introduced to fellow monkeys for the first time since bonding with her surrogate mother, Ashlei. Tessa, once depressive, has already made great strides towards normalcy. We follow Ashlei as she prepares a special meal for Tessa before driving to the outdoor barn where Tessa will meet her new friend. After a last hug from an emotional Ashlei, Tessa confronts the unknown. How will she react? Will she be accepted by the other monkeys? Could this be the first day of a new life among her own kind?
