LACEY – With his laid-back pose, bamboo snacks, and sun-soaked swagger, Boomer the macaque is stealing hearts — and the spotlight — at Popcorn Park Animal Refuge.
Nicknamed the “mini gorilla” for his burly build and confident stance, Boomer has quickly become a fan favorite. These days, he’s often spotted lounging on his favorite ledge, feet propped up on the fence like he owns the place.
But Boomer’s path to paradise wasn’t an easy one. Rescued from a difficult past, the grey-armed macaque has found peace, safety, and plenty of treats at the refuge. His transformation from stressed to serene is a shining example of the refuge’s mission.
“Boomer is living the life of luxury now — safe, loved, and worry-free,” the staff shared.
Visitors are welcome to stop by and see Boomer in action. Just don’t be surprised if you fall in love with this pint-sized primate with big personality.
