We visited briefly with two of the swamp monkeys today, and had a marvelous time! They are so cute and curious. Happy New Year!

The only problem was their attention outlasted the showing of my "treasures" and I finally had to let them see that I had nothing more in my bag. Thank you for your blog and for all that you do.

Since Kinah is now only two, we would traditionally have a few more years before she reaches sexual maturity. Although Kinah is thriving here in Ituri Forest, she is still very small for her age, and due to these unique physical conditions, I do not believe there has been a decision made on whether she will breed.

I love hearing about what she is up to. She truely is a miracle monkey. Are there plans for her to have a baby of her own in the next year or two? Since she got to seen Bunzi deliver and raise Mak, she has had great lessons in motherhood. Last time I asked you about this you indicated she was still to young to bare an offspring. When will she reach sexual maturity and be of breeding age? Nerissa, what a treat to hear of Kinah’s newest escapades. I love hearing about what she is up to. She truely is a miracle monkey.
