a trip to the UC Botanic Gardens late in 2008. No notes can be found so I don't know or recall what most stuff is.

Monkey Forest at Trentham.
In the wild they inhabit the wooded mountains of Morocco and Algeria where the winters are cold and often with heavy snowfalls.

Both Ted and I nearly fainted into a puddle of adoration when we spotted this tiny baby. We think he was something of a runt, because he was much tinier than another baby we saw despite the fact that he was obviously older based on his coloring. But he didn't want to stray far from mama, and he whined for her in a tiny, squeaky voice that was sooooooo cute.
Sorry the picture couldn't be more clear but I had a piece of glass seperating me. I tried several different angles but this came out the best.
Easter Sunday: This is how i help Monkey work on her Physical Therapy. I prop up her legs and position her feet so that she can balance herself. Then I slightly hold her tail so that Monkey can then negotiate a sense of balance. She does rather well, and in this way she builds strength in her legs.
monkey's first day of the sign of recovery. She was so happy to see Sal and Ben her tail came alive! It's just a matter of time before the tail turns to her leg's moving! The Vet thinks she has a chance of full recovery... it's just going to take time.
The monkeys within the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal are commonly called long-tailed macaques. Their scientific name is Macaca fascicuiaris. Macaques are found throughout Southeast Asia and many species of macaques live successfully in areas that are heavily utilized by humans. On Bali, there are Balinese long-tailed macaque troops (populations) that live in areas where they have little to no contact with humans and troops that come into contact with humans on a regular basis. However, despite the fact that many species of macaques thrive in areas that are heavily utilized by humans, there is evidence that the viability of Balinese long-tailed macaques (the ability of macaques to continue to thrive) may be dependent upon the conservation of Bali's forested areas.
