Photo by @jasperdoest | @vetdoest goes for a weekly swim in the Caribbean Sea surrounding the island of Curaçao with her two brown pelicans and flamingo Bob.

With all the attention Flamingo Bob is getting; you’d almost forget the incredible work @vetdoest & @fdoccuracaoare doing for other species on the island. @vetdoest often gets injured wild animals at her practice and works hard to rehabilitate them. These two pelicans were beaten up by local fishermen and wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild. Therefore @vetdoest added these two characters to her team of wildlife educators to teach local children about wildlife conservation and animal welfare.

And in case you haven’t heard about Bob yet: Bob is a Caribbean flamingo, from the Dutch island of Curaçao. His life took a dramatic turn when he flew into a hotel window, leaving him severely concussed. He was cared for by my cousin, Odette Doest @vetdoest, a local vet who also runs a wildlife rehabilitation centre and conservation charity – the Fundashon Dier en Onderwijs Cariben (FDOC) @fdoccuracao. Existing disabilities meant Bob couldn’t be released, but instead he became ambassador for FDOC, which educates locals about the importance of protecting the island’s wildlife.
