Suren Vispute
Should I ?
I caught this Squirrel Monkey at Mocagua Island, Amazonas, Colombia, in a moment suspended between hesitation and instinct—quietly measuring the space between branches, weighing its next leap.
Trivia -
Males weigh around 750 gms - 1100 gms. Females weigh 500 to 750 grams. Commonly captured for the pet trade and for medical research they are however not in the endangered class. They can only sweat through the palms of their hands and feet. They also make use of a technique to maximize evaporative cooling known as urine washing. They urinate on their hands and rub the urine over the soles of their feet. The urine then evaporates and cools the body.
