Legolas is one of four baboons who arrived at Popcorn Park on the evening of December 27th, 2015. They had belonged to an elderly, terminally ill man who could no longer care for them, and through the compassion of an animal transporter, the four bachelors were given a bright future at our refuge. As we got to know these incredibly intelligent animals, we realized they had an established social order that maintained a harmony within the group.

Legolas has an interesting position in this small troop of baboons - sometimes he fits in with Gandalf and Aragorn, hanging out with them, and sometimes he is best buddies with, and hangs out with, Frodo. In asserting his position in the group, Legolas can sometimes be overly pushy to Frodo because he lacks the confidence of Gandalf and Aragorn, and on these occasions Frodo stands up to Legolas. Legolas backs down and all is well again. Why not sponsor Legolas and give him that extra bit of confidence? Please consider sponsoring Legolas today!
