Wild animals? What wild animals?
The monkeys of course!
According to Michael, this was not one of the best parts, it was the best part - hands down!
There are sign around asking visitors to not feed the little guys, but from the avid way they were eyeing our backpack (otherwise known as the refrigerator) it was clear that they have been fed many times before.
They were very comfortable around us and weren't even phased when about 15 high school students from a nearby rowing club came
running down the path and started yelling as soon as they saw the monkeys. In fact, the noise seem to remind the monkeys that students sometimes mean food so all the monkeys ran towards the startling noise - not exactly your standard wild animal response.
There were other critters in the park also. Here is a 2 foot long iguana who had been sunning himself along the path.
We also saw a lot of interesting insects. Here is something that looks like a red dragonfly
and we saw a few of these butterflies in different stages of growth. When they are littler the contrast between the light and dark areas is even more pronounced. There were also a few mosquitoes, but we didn't get many pictures of those.We have a bunch more pictures from the park.
