Spider monkey puppies
I arrived at the river dweller’s house, greeted the whole family, and noticed that in a corner of the backyard there were two spider monkey puppies. The river dweller had hunted their mother and, as is customary in these cases, decided to bring the puppies to raise. It’s a sad story when viewed from an urban perspective, but in the Amazon countryside, it’s “normal.” Pregnant women crave monkey meat, but in reality, they need protein that can only be found in the forest.

Adopted
Hugging each other, without understanding the great change of events, the two spider monkey puppies (Ateles paniscus) didn’t even try to escape, completely resigned to the whims of reality. They would be adopted by the riverine family, and the children would soon become their playmates.
