Jungle pets

Today one of my stops was in Tiweano. I took some people from New Zealand there to visit the Waorani. I have been to that village a lot, but I always have my camera because I never know what new thing I will see. Today I saw a fun assortment of pets...


You can see the end of the leash on this monkey dangling from his neck. He was pretty friendly with his owner, but he didn't warm up to many other people. Monkeys seem very possessive with there masters, and are very cold towards outsiders. I don't see myself ever wanting a monkey for a pet.


This scarlet macaw seemed friendly. He was perched a little to high in a house for me to get at, but beautiful nonetheless.
