We have friends who are big fans of the ponies. There are no horse races here, but we've been highly entertained the past few months by the howler monkeys that hang out around the hotel.
The correlation? There is a tiny baby that rides on the back of the mother as she leaps and bounds through the jungle with the rest of the primates.
The baby wraps itself tightly to the mother while she swings from branch to branch with very little daylight between the two--just like a seasoned jockey.
There are some scary moments when the mother misses the first branch that she is aiming for, but she always recovers, and the baby is wrapped tightly around her and hasn't fallen off yet.
