This is a spider monkey. It is about the size of a young child, has very lanky arms, legs and tail and has a thick black hairy coat. Of all the monkeys in this animal sanctuary I like them the best. They are extremely friendly, comes up to you, coos like a baby and cradles up in your arm.
They are so love-able it is impossible to resist! This one is a mum, and she is usually seen with her little kid, whom comes up to her and suck on her nipple whilst she is lying in my arms. I see her almost daily and she always sits with me. These two self portraits are taken this afternoon at the aviary. Isn't the monkey cute??? :)
Update: The mum is Michaela by the way, and her daughter is Micky, they turn up at the aviary almost daily and I LOVE THEM TO BITS!!!!
