Photo caption: "The Nukak are expert hunters. The men hunt using 3 meters long blow guns with darts coated with curare. They hunt monkeys such as the squirrel monkey. When a mother with a baby is killed sometimes the baby survives the fall from the forest canopy. The survivor is kept as pet and protein storage until it will be big enough to be eaten." Altos de Aqua Bonita -2006

Unorthodox hat, but I don't hate it.

The thing about squirrel monkeys is, you can give them all the Sharpies in the world and they still can’t draw anything resembling a dick

I like how round that little monkey's head is.
