This year is Chinese zodiac year of the Monkey, and it certainly is for me. I have just spent a week with various monkeys in the jungles of Costa Rica. Of all of them, this is definitely my favorite. The Squirrel Monkey. Adorable little creatures flitting through the trees like a family of small, grey and orange birds. You can hear them calling to each other as they bounce around, the sound of content and happy chirpings. Being somewhat cheeky like most monkey can be, they swept through this tree eating the fruits, only taking a few bites of each one before throwing them to the ground. Sometimes I think they were even purposefully aiming at my head. However, I will gladly take a few fruits to the head to spend time with these cute and cheeky little monkeys.
Cute, cheeky and naughty little monkeys indeed ! The photos say it all 🙂

Envious. They must be so much fun to watch in person, even with their penchant for tree by fruitings to your head!

They are. I would have watched them all day, but usually they move on pretty quickly, like a mini tornado passing through the trees.
