Yucatán Black Howler Monkey, Monos Aulladores / Alouatta pigra

            My wife and I, encountered a very friendly troop of about a dozen monkeys who were caring for a very young monkey. The majority of the troop seemed as interested in us as we were in them. We spent about 40 minutes together. I was standing on the ground taking pictures as they were moving and eventually formed a half moon arch in front of me. At some point one of the monkeys was so close that my camera couldn't focus anymore. I lowered my camera and realized that he was at arms length in front of me. My camera was mounted on a monopod and I had a strap around my neck and shoulder so I was confident that he couldn't take off with it. I wasn't sure what he was going to do next but we just gazed into one anothers eyes until he had enough and left. It was an absolutely wonderful experience.
