Spider Monkey -Yolosa, Bolivia

A rehabbing spider monkey at La Sende Verde, a wildlife refuge in Yolosa, Bolivia.

I almost went with Peter Gabriel but thought some people (PETA) might get the wrong idea… ;)

The Monkees?? lol! But then again, I can see how Shock the Monkey might be misconstrued. The Monkees theme seems the better choice. :)

(I’ll have you to blame if, at the end of the day, I’m still singing “Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees!”)

That little guy/gal is so cute. Nice, Ron. :)

looks like this monkey has…something to say

Wise choice.

The lines across the eyes… you see it? Gives him a whole other dimension. I like the contrast of the whiskers and the skater’s haircut. The front brush is pretty popular with the teens, but those whiskers give him the air of grandpa.

This is a AWWWW moment Ron, very cute, but I would have went with Peter Gabriel….

I like to see the PETA people fired up :)

sadly, i spent a couple years convincing my friends that running up my slide and sliding down was the best thing we could do with our time, it grew to a show of others banging their heads off the swing poles, slipping on the ground, and bumping into each other

Come on.. I come to see a cute spider monkey and hang around YouTube listening to the MONKEES for 15 minutes….once, when I was young….
And the little monkey is cute too.

That is a great shot.
About The Monkees:
When Jimi Hendrix was an up and coming artist, he used to open for them!

What a soulful little creature! Thanks for sharing Ron!

Thanks Robin, still singing or are you back on hiatus this week? ;)

What is he gonna say fish, tell us… :)

I thought so A… and yes, his eyes are a bit different.

Imagine how long you would have stayed if the monkey was draped in snow Barbara… ;)

Thanks Science Guy and for the trivia too…

You’re welcome truddle, great to see you… :)

Robin February 20, 2008 at 12:35 pm

I would, Ron, but you guys won’t let me. :P

Next time I’ll be smart enough not to announce it. :)

Ron in L.A. February 20, 2008 at 12:49 pm

You got that right Robin… :)

and, umm, no you won’t ;)

Robin February 20, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Wanna bet? :)
