This is another shot from the Barbados Wildlife Reserve. This was one of the best memories from the trip because this is when we got to feed the monkeys. We had been doing research on them for weeks but we were always told not to feed them because it would further domesticate them. This was one of our last days at the reserve so we were very persuasive and the director finally said yes! Two minutes after taking this shot, I was sitting on the ground about 5 feet away from this mother and her infant, I pulled out a banana, peeled it, and just simply handed it to the mother. These monkeys are amazing because they are wild yet at the same time they are so use to being around people that they'll just walk up to you and take food right out of your hands. Enjoy!
