R.I.P. The sidewinder
The sidewinder at the zoo pasted after 20 years. She was very cute until the end.

Have to forgive her for that lack of cuteness at the end, David. I guess we all kind our lose our appeal then. 
Surprising that she survived 20 years in captivity!!! Good for her.
Thanks for your caring for her. |

So, it lived 20 years in their care? Or they just guesstimated its age when it was aquired?

Amazing. Our little zoo here had a monkey that died recently after being there for over 30 years or more. |
