Ramona is a adult female howler monkey who lives with her human family in Tinaco, the nearest town to our compound. As you can see from the photograph, she is in good health. You see her enjoying a bunch of forest leaves freshly collected by us for her this morning. In particular, you can see her coat is in fine condition.
She is well cared for and much loved by her family. We have visited her for some years. Her accommodation has been greatly improved during that time. Formerly she was chained to a tree in the street, where she was a danger to people passing. She now has her own tree away from the street behind the family shop. Her tree is covered in healthy leaves but all monkeys like to have a change of leaf diet. She gets very exited when she sees me. Jumping on my shoulder as a greeting and showing that she remembers the man who brings her leaves. She shares the family home at night.
Her chain is a little on the short side. Perhaps the owners could invest in a new one.

Ramona es una mona aulladora adulta que vive con su familia humana en el municipio Tinaco, el pueblo más cercano a nuestra finca. Como se puede ver en la fotografía, ella goza de buena salud. Usted puede verla disfrutar de un montón de hojas del bosque recién recolectadas por nosotros para ella. En particular, se puede ver el pelaje que está en muy buenas condiciones.
Ella está bien cuidada y es muy querida por su familia. La hemos visitado desde hace algunos años. Su alojamiento se ha mejorado mucho durante ese tiempo. Anteriormente estaba encadenada a un árbol en la calle, donde ella era un peligro para los transeúntes. Ahora tiene su propio árbol lejos de la calle detrás de la tienda de la familia. Su árbol está cubierto de hojas sanas, pero a todos los monos les gusta tener un cambio de tipo de hojas. Ella se pone muy contenta cuando me ve. Saltando en mi hombro a modo de saludo y demostrando que ella recuerda al hombre que le trae hojas frescas. Ella duerme dentro de la casa familiar en la noche.
