I applied to the animal refuge sanctuary as a volunteer to take care of the animals. I thought maybe 4 hours max a day, but crapola, a full 8 hrs. in 96 degree heat on my feet all day. It’s going to take some getting used to for sure.
I don’t have pics with the monkeys but I’m going to ask my co-worker Brian the biologist from Baltimore if he will. Those Capuchin monkeys are so funny. I go into the pen and feed them in the AM, btw, they eat better than I do. They climb all over me 3 at a time and want that human connection so bad you can see it. They pee, too, whenever, so I got it today while one was on top of my head. I didn’t say it was glamorous work, but necessary. I have the time for now while I’m waiting for the dentist appointment which is right around the corner.
It’s so funny, the wild ones, lie in the tree napping it’s so flipping hot. It was only 96 today.
He’s about 2 yrs. old and was someone’s pet. It is illegal to own any wild animals in Costa Rica and people get them as small babies, then they grow and their too much so they come here. He will live in this cage forever because he has no pack, doesn’t know danger, how to get food. It’s sad. Don’t get monkeys as pets. The owners pay big fines or even jail for owning a wild animal here.
Out of the snow and into the heat
