Monkey Center



Here are a few images from the Monkey Center on Awaji Island. I thought we'd never make it there alive or that when we got there, they might have some baby dressed up in a monkey suit! But I was wrong. After a short walk uphill we came to where the monkeys hang out when they aren't in trees. It was really cool to see the monkeys interacting with one another. They seemed to be all ages and sizes. The mothers seemed to protect the babies. The younger ones seemed to enjoy playing and some of the older ones seemed to be grumpy. There were deer in the area also and they all seemed to get along. There was even a monkey cemetary. It was well worth the extreme effort to get there.
