Clever Monkeys (Yasuni National Park)

Here is the monkey in the jungle, where it should be.


Amazon, Coca
Clever monkeys using man made foods. They have to treat humans gently, not to scare them. One of us had bananas in her back pack, so they jumped on her head and got the fruit.
Today I watched the program 'Clever monkeys'. Our so called human unique inteligent skills are theirs as well, and 40 millions years they had it. As David Attenborough beatifully said:
our humanness is not so human. I would say the best of us is animal, the moral codes which we don't keep, religions, wars and pointless agression - are the aberations of our run away brain and being on the top of all food chains. Our numbers grows exponentially, we will swamp all habitats and replace rain forest with concrete jungle and technology.
Then humans will probably die of boredom, those who will survive the wars, famines and sunamis. How lucky for me that I will be dead long before.
