A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Lagothrix lagotricha
A wild baby wooly monkey whose mother was killed by hunters. They then sold the little monkey to a peasant and finished in a farm close to La Uribe, Meta. This town is located in the foothills of Colombian Eastern Cordilera, a place that despite the war suffered there, preserves a wide variety of fauna.

How sad but reassuring to hear that the local people are helping to preserve the wildlife despite all the hardships they must have suffered.
Ese bebe tan lindo, mueroo. Espero que aparte de su triste comienzo de vida ahora se encuentre bien.
Poor little guy! A sad story but very sweet photos.
