This one goes out to all the mothers, as there is still ten minutes left in Mother’s Day at the time of posting. Many of the monkeys we saw in Peru were carrying babies. This is an Ecuadorian squirrel monkey. The baby seems almost as big as mom. On my trip to Peru six months ago, I didn’t see any of these squirrel monkeys. This time they seemed to be all over the place. And when you see them, you see a lot of them as they can travel in troops of over a hundred individuals. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1250, f/5.6 at 1/400th of a second, Godox v860iii fill flash.
On behalf of all moms – thanks Sean! These guys are freakin’ adorable though baby and mom look more like twins, and also more like aliens than squirrels. Or monkeys 😉

Awwww. This post reminds me of my mom, who is also a squirrel monkey.
Awh!! Almost the same size, but look at her hands holding her baby! Priceless!
