Meeting the monkeys

Here is the monkey caretaker. The monkeys know that he is hiding bananas under his shirt. This is Maria and Pancho.
Here are some of the monkeys that live in a nearby teak forest, under the care of a local family. The monkeys really don't need any care as there are bananas and fruits everywhere, but for some reason they have a connection with this family.
On the walk to the monkey forest, we passed by this fresh water estuary with sugar cane growing right down to it.
Here's another view of the estuary.


This is Pancho, the head monkey. He is the only male. The rest are females. He doesn't look too bad, considering.
The man behind me is the one who has domesticated this tribe. I got to feed bananas to them.
