Squirrel Monkey Baby Boom!!!

The endemic titis or squirrel monkeys, are the only monkeys in the country that syncronize their mating. This means that all titi mothers are pregnant at the same time and therefore will have their babies more or less around the same time too.

It was about a month ago that the first babies started booming in the jungle. For the last three weeks, the titi monkey troops have been quite shy, but now they are starting to appear again on the hotel grounds. The babies´ little bodies are only four inches long! If you come soon to Arenas del Mar (www.arenasdelmar.com) you will have the rare privelage to see the proud mothers swinging by showing off their furry offspring, who will ride on their backs for four whole months.
