Fauna Chimps
The Fauna Foundation is Canadaâs only chimpanzee sanctuary and it serves vegan sweet potato poutine to its heartbreakingly sensitive guests. We held and petted a Capuchin monkey this weekend. It reached out its tiny hand and wrapped it around one of our fingers.Â
An Unnatural History
Possibly the worldâs only collection of vintage monkey and ape photographs, some of which are of Capuchin monkeys, the kind that we held and petted this weekend. We cried three times afterward, moved by the experience itself and dizzy over the fact that our life had led to this. An Unnatural History is definitely Tumblrâs best source for monkeys hanging out with dogs.
Monkeys in Art History
Could this diverse selection of monkey-centric art actually be the work of a single, spectacularly talented primate? We hadnât considered the possibility until we saw our own reflection in the eyes of a Capuchin monkey this weekend. An ageless wisdom was writ into its expression, and in that moment our two species felt closer than we had ever thought possible.Â
Primatography
Photos by a primatologist, which is something youâll wish you majored in after holding and petting a Capuchin monkey. We majored in Classics and assumed we would live a solitary life of the mind. Children were never a part of this pictureâŚbut to hold this fragile life in our hands, we were suddenly filled with a love too big for one heart to contain. Primatography includes special bonus shots of sloths and other mammals.Â
Respectez ce Singeot
A whole lot of beautiful monkeys and a little bit of the elusive Werner Herzog. Even now, thinking about that Capuchin monkey has our eyes once again filling with tears.Â
