This month marks two years since a primate sanctuary north of Leon Springs lost more than a dozen animals during the power outages and bitter cold of "winter storm Uri".

After overhauling its weather protocols, Primarily Primates says it was able to keep everyone safe today after losing power once again. They say the power went out early Wednesday morning, but this time they were ready with three teams on site.

The teams fired up generators and propane heaters and were able to keep all of their animals warm and safe. They even evacuated some of the more vulnerable monkeys like the lemurs and chimpanzees.

The Executive Director of Primarily Primates, Krystal Mathis says that they have spent the past two years perfecting their extreme weather plan and on days like Wednesday, they see why their hard work is so important.

Mathis says the public can help by dropping off propane or gasoline since the center is still operating on generators. If you would like to help donate to their facility, click HERE.
