Description
Just returned from visiting my sister in Indonesia. She lives near an Orang Utan rehabilitation centre. This beautiful creature is undergoing rehabilitation after serious abuse at the hands of human owners. She will hopefully be reintroduced to the jungle once she has learnt to survive in the wild.North Sumatra, Indonesia. October 2008

Yes hunnie... With 109 native species of primates, Brazil is the country with more diversity of monkeys in the world.

Well I knew Brazil had lots of monkies in truth. Its pretty famous. 
I'm so fascinated to visit SOuth America one day and see the monkies. I read a wonderful book recently which described/imagined how the primates split apart from Africa over to South America back when the continents where closer to each other. So the crossing was possible!? And how since then they have taken a different evolutionary developmental path, Apes primates and monkey primates. VERY interesting! I love it!
