Squirrel Monkey in the Pampas Photo

Photographer’s Note

This little fellow was amongst hundreds of little, cute monkeys that surrounded us on our boat trip in the Bolivian Amazon, in the "Pampas" or swamps. We stopped the boat by one island and the monkeys came running to us, asking us for a piece of the bananas we had on board. So we fed them out of our hands, which was really cute. The Pampas tours are done from Rurrenabaque, 18 hour busride or 20 minutes plane ride from La Paz and the 3 to 4 day tour costs between $15 and $25 US per day, including transport, food, lodging, cook, guide and an assistant guide.

Hi Thrudur!
Lovely shot of this yellow squirrel monkey.You were lucky that he posed for you.I`ve seen these nice animals in the jungle of Peru,but managed no good photos,because they were to shy.
I like the good contrast and how he is framed by the leafs.
Regards,Leo
