These little squirrel monkeys paid a visit to our lodge one afternoon while at Tiskita in Pavones, Costa Rica. Unfortunately, their engaging nature and attractive appearance have made them the target of the illegal pet trade. The good news is that recent efforts at conservation have been responsible for elevating their status from Endangered to the less critical, Vulnerable. Here’s hoping the trend continues.

What adorable little hands and fingers!
What a dear little creature. I love its face and those fingers are to die for! Nice catchlights, Sean!
