Monkey's from the amazon

Post by reptileexperts »

Well, I started a thread with some of my birds from Ecuador, so I thought I'd compliment it in the Mammal section with some primates from the amazon (no primates live in the higher elevations of Ecuador, there use to be some popualtions of white-fronted Capuchin outside of Quito on the lower side of the spectrum, but very rarely are they seen). During my time in the Napo region of the amazon in Ecuador, I encountered 7 of the 10 sepcies of monkey, including the Declining Wooly Monkey on multiple occassions, as well as the endangered and endemic Golden-mantaled Tamarin . . . no more reading needed though, enjoy!

Noisy Night Monkeys, this short was fortunate enough to be recognized by National Geographic back at the start of June.

Hah, should say "shot", it was chosen as a national geographic highlight of the week image featured on their social networking pages.

Awesome work! My favorite is the first, although they are all excellent. Beautiful golden-mantled tamarin!

Thanks for posting some monkeys. My family had a Night Monkey named ShaSha when i was growing up. Very un-monkey-like in ways - not deliberately destructive or particularly interested objects that wernt food related.
