Pure Love

Golden Squirrel Monkeys communicate using around 30 distinctive vocalizations and a lot of the times, form relationships with other species of monkeys for adaptive reasons. I guess you could call them the social butterflies of the jungle!  They live among multiple female and male social groups, consisting of at least 50 other monkeys which, I think, is pretty impressive.

Habitat: Squirrel monkeys are curious. They are tree-dwelling primates that spend most of their time in the canopy of the forest. Their distribution includes an isolated population in the rainforest of Costa Rica and virtually the entire Amazon Basin of South America. In the wild, squirrel monkeys inhabit most types of tropical forests, including both wet and dry forest, continuous and secondary forest, mangrove swamps, riparian habitat, and forest fragments.
