Squirrel monkeys are just the cutest. But when I revisited Costa Rica last week, I didn’t see them again. Their numbers have dwindled and tourists have (rightly) become less likely to feed them. Thank you, CO, for supplementing my fix.

They look exactly like the sock monkeys my cousins used to have when I was a kid. OK, not exactly – these are much cuter, of course. And they have bigger weirder ears.

OMG. Wantz!

The chocolate schnozzles just kill me.

Oh Hell, Chief I meant Chief, honest!

I was in Costa Rica recently, and these guys were the absolute cutest.

The sea lion pup video is also pretty awesome!

Wait a cotton picking moment. It says posted by Meg and yet you say the Cheif sister officer told you to post it; is there schizophrenia going on here? }

Obama monkey.

The bebeh monkeh has kind of a sad clown face.

Don’t miss the baby seal, folks– matching mom-and-kiddie seal mini-tailios and tocks!

The tiny, floppy sea lion pup is a must see, too. You can catch him/her at feeding time for a real treat.
