Description
Lovely Squirrel Monkey at Isle de Los Micos, Macedonia, Amazonas, Leticia, Colombia. These monkeys were brought to this Island as a tourist attraction. They have been conditioned to come and jump on tourists in exchange for food. They are not captive. They are inquisitive creatures and took great interest in my camera, jumping on it, and my father in laws mobile- looking at their reflections. Although these animals have been introduced to this area, I feel this form of interaction - at the animals volition, is ethically suitable because it does not force these animals into captivity and provides an income for the local people. Unfortunately there are many instances of wild animals being kept captive in less than ideal conditions for tourists, luckily we were able to avoid most of these.
