Скачать или смотреть Orphaned Howler Monkeys like to chill ON their foster mom

Not pets!

These adorable babies lost their mothers to poachers but were lucky enough to be rescued. Having to be hand-raised at a Wildlife Refuge, they have become very accustomed to people and, unfortunately, won't be able to be released back into the wild. Primates, in general, are extremely social animals, and the babies need to be with a mother, even if a foster one.

Although baby monkeys can be super and cuddly, it is important to remember that they are wild animals, and should NOT be kept as pets! These babies lost their mothers and were rescued from the black market precisely because people buy monkeys!

The Bolivian Red Howler (Alouatta sara) is a species of Howler Monkey that is endemic to Bolivia, which means that it can't be found anywhere else in the world, although it used to be considered a subspecies of Red Howler Monkey (Alouatta seniculus).

The illegal wildlife trade is the third most valuable illicit commerce in the world, losing only to drugs and weapons. That, along with loss of habitat by deforestation, fires, etc., result in an enormous amount of animals in need of rescuing. Only 1 in 10 animals survive trafficking! Do not support the pet trade! Animals should be free!
