Driving along the 142, north of the Lake Arenal, a bus had pulled off the road and people were looking up in the trees. There was a whole family of howler monkeys, travelling from tree to tree.
Koh Tao Thailand...This guy was recovering from a fractured pelvis or something, I think he was doing alright as he was jumping all over the place when he saw me.
Taken at Zoofest 30/08/08 - my friend Robin's parents own a zoo in The Lake District (UK) and about 10 of us went up and camped for the weekend. Robin has access to all the cages and we got to hold and feed lots of animals!!
Squirrel Monkeys inhabit the rainforests of South America where they reside primarily in secondary forests at the intermediate level. They spend most of their time foraging in the trees for fruits, insects, nuts and seeds. Here they are also less likely to become targets for their major predators: eagles, snakes and seldom humans.

Not a great photo, way too blown out with an overly busy background, but I had to post it. I noticed the finger only while going through pictures. At least he didn't fling poo at me.
When we went to Ubud we made sure to go in the Sacred Monkey Sanctuary and it was well worth it. The monkeys are pretty content with people walking close to them, taking photos and generally being in their space, but most of all they want food.
My friend and I weren't game to buy bananas for these little buggers because we didn't want them too close. At the time we had heard rumors of rabies being around and we weren't vaccinated so we chose against it. I think we would have been safe but a girl in front of us took a bite so better safe than sorry.
