Monkeys!

This weekend, my mom and I took a jungle cruise on the lakes of the Canal, and there were monkeys everywhere.  Our captain had brought a bunch of peanuts and bananas, which he distributed to us to get the monkeys to come over.  It was pretty darn amazing.

These tiny little white bundles (which kind of look like owls) are actually tiny little monkeys.  I got to feed one- it was pretty great. 

You can see how tiny this monkey is- the captain told us that it weighs something like 16oz, and is about 6 inches long.  Kind of like a gerbil-sized monkey. 









And the monkeys felt comfortable enough to play around the boat.  I really enjoy how sprightly this little guy looks in this picture.
