Wallis has developed good skills in the forest and likes to spend a lot of her time high up in the trees. She knows how to make her own nest and has become adept at finding food in the forest. She is still best friends with Tatiana and the two of them play together all the time. They often travel long distances together in the forest. Wallis will soon be a great candidate for release.
