Tucado is rescued in Petrópolis and undergoes surgery in MG A toucan run over on the BR-040, on the way up the Petrópolis mountain range, in the Serrana region of Rio, recovered his vision after undergoing surgery and veterinary treatment, in Juiz de Fora (MG) and can return to nature. The case is part of the wild animal rescue and rehabilitation work carried out by the Elovias Environment team. When animals cannot be reintroduced to their natural habitat, they are sent by ICMBio to sanctuaries. Despite the evolution, the animal remains under observation. According to the veterinary team, he has not yet returned to eating spontaneously, a behavior considered essential so that he can be returned to his natural habitat. If this does not happen, you will be sent to a sanctuary. ? Follow the g1 Região Serrana channel on WhatsApp. Another animal treated was a young female capuchin monkey, victim of being run over. Although she recovered physically, she developed a strong dependence on human interaction during treatment, which made her reintroduction into the wild unfeasible. On the 13th, the animal was sent by ICMBio to a sanctuary in Angra dos Reis. Also on BR-040, a wild dog was found with two fractured hind legs after being run over. The animal underwent surgery, was rehabilitated and walked normally again. Now, he is just waiting for the release to return to the natural environment. A boa constrictor was also rescued by the dealership team. After veterinary care and specialized monitoring, she recovered her health and is ready to be returned to the wild. According to biologist Marcelo Madeira, from the Elovias Environment team, the objective is always to return the animals to their natural habitat. When this is not possible, they are sent to places where they continue to receive permanent care.
