Sakia was taken into our facility at Forever Wild in June of 2002 from Texas. She had a very rough first part of her life that gave her not only scarring on the outside but also on the inside. We were told by the 3rd party that took her in before we could get to her; she was used for a roadside photo booth.

Due to her past experiences, she is easily stressed. She prefers the safe comforts of her home at the sanctuary. If she is taken away for any reason, she gets stressed to the point of becoming extremely ill. While in her compound at Forever Wild, she is very outgoing and friendly. We estimate her to be about 13 years of age. Sakia will no long ever have to worry about being taken care of ever again. She has a permanent home here where we will care for her for the rest of her life.

Sakai and Mia share an enclosure and are very happy together.
