Is Venecia trying to text Home? Venecia has gained weight steadily since she arrived a month ago, from 694 grams (24 ounces) to 872 grams (31 ounces). And although that's not quite half a pound, it's enough to snap the deck plants instead of bending them. The time has come to head into the jungle to play.
[Postscript from the next morning. FAIL. Venecia was convinced Paul was going to abandon her...with no trail of breadcrumbs to follow. However Chiquito, our spider monkey, had the same reaction initially. Soon Paul will be trying to spot Venecia among the leaves.]

Our hope is that wild howlers will eventually join the babies in the trees on our daily outings, like they do at Jaguar Rescue on the Caribbean coast. And then, that wild males will patiently hang around the cages, waiting for the girls to be released, like they do at SIBU Sanctuary in Nosara on the Pacific coast. Time will tell.
 Venecia has turned into a gymnast. |  My "tiger paw" has turned into a stump. |  And now for the lipstick palm... aaaggh! |
