Description

Monkeys are not my favourit animals but these are toooooo cute. They were not a bit afraid of the public walking along the path. I can see why unfortunately they are easy pickings for photographers etc to earn a bit of money from holiday makers. Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. x Squirrel Monkeys live in groups called troops, the groups consist of a number of males, with one dominant male. They can be very vocal using up to 26 different calls. Squirrel Monkeys are very important to the survival of South American rainforests, they control the insect population and disperse seeds. Squirrel Monkeys live together in groups of up to 100 members, however occasionally smaller groups can break off and form troops. Mainly eating fruit and insects, Squirrel Monkeys are omnivores and have been known to eat seeds, nuts, leaves, flowers and even eggs. The info is taken from the web site.

Great captures of these guys...I do like moneys and apes--studied them extensively as an anthropology student...wonder how well these monkeys are adapting to their new environment...
