Beautiful! Great photo!

Thank you to everyone for the gracious comments. I appreciate all the support as I am new to this process. Thanks again!

Maria dB - When we visited the island they told us that the monkeys would come up to us when they wanted and for us not to initiate contact first...(pick them up or grab their hands) I found they were very friendly and extremely curious but wanted to come and go on their terms. I'm not sure if there has ever been an incident but I did not feel afraid of their behavior...just respected what we had been told.

Thanks KarenL! I am soooo excited! I am new to Project Noah and have just fallen in love with the possibilities it gives everyone to see the world. I teach 5th grade science and can't wait to get my students engaged with Project Noah this coming year! Thanks again! This has made my day!!! :)

Maria dB...I'm not sure if this particular monkey will be released or not. They said that some are released and some stay on the island.

Thanks for the ID suggestion Stian Waaler. :)

KarenL....This was taken at "Monkey Island" near Iquitos, Peru....It is a primate rehab. center where the monkeys are cared for... This little girl was just really curious. She came up and was sitting in Christa's lap when she spotted her camera....curiosity took over! lol
