He arrived at the Sanctuary in 2003, after spending much of his life traveling with a circus in Minas Gerais, in Brazil. During his time in the circus, he was castrated and had all his teeth removed.

At times, he seemed like a somewhat grumpy old man. However, his personality was actually much more sociable, being very affectionate and playful. He loved to play with water and often washed his hands and feet while playing. Jango was always with his companion Catarina, who also had a history of living in a circus. The two were inseparable and spent hours grooming each other1.

He died on 02/05/2023.
