Hello blog followers,
I have finally arrived at the animal stage in the trip, but as a warning you wont be seeing the same class of pictures that I had access to in Africa. I am exclusively working with capuchin monkeys, so for the most part, that´s what you´re going to see animal wise. As for Awesome pictures though, you´ve toured the blog, and you know I´ll deliver.
So let me explain what I´m doing. I work in the Mirador which is the final stage of monkey rehabilitation at the Machia Ecotourist Animal Park. There are about seventeen monkeys that are in cages that we let out on cords for the majority of the day, and fifteen plus mokeys who are a part of the troop, but roam free without cords. So every day we take about a half hour hike to the Mirador where we feed the monkeys, move them to their respective cords, and them work on making the place more efficient. Obviously we also have quite a lot to clean.
In this picture I am trying to coax this monkey into my arms for a sweet pic, but he´s not having it. The monkeys we work with can be friendly, but interaction with non-corded monkeys is discouraged, and there area a few monkeys who are not friendly.
So I am going to be here one more week and then the group will start our trekking phase.
More to come!
