feeling blue

a few days ago i went to an animal refuge in the small bolivian town of samaipata. it had a similar vibe to the monkey sanctuary i went to a couple of years ago in la paz - with most of the animals roaming free. we went to have a closer look at this monkey, when she swung towards us and jumped into the arms of one of my friends. she looked sad, and clearly wanted either attention or affection. when we spoke to one of the staff members we learnt why - her partner had died a week earlier and she was still grieving. cue sympathetic sighs from everyone around and a maternal instinct to provide as much comfort as we could offer.

here's the original
Brilliant photo, but sooooo sad!

Pooor monkey! So nice you were able to comfort her. She would have been removed for infection control if it was the UK, so she's lucky to be in Bolivia and get cuddles.

So fortunate the poor monkey is being comforted and cuddled. Maybe he had just convalescent from a recent infection. How sad his face is.
