Monkey Mountain (10 October 2010)

If you want monkeys I know you most likely don't think about going to southern Germany but you'd be wrong, as there is an entire mountain filled with them; we call it Monkey Mountain (creative I know.) We went to Monkey mountain with Family on a gloomy Saturday morning not knowing what to expect. I expected 2 or 3 monkeys in cages, but I was wrong here we were Germany in a monkey filled zoo/park/place thingy. The monkeys that are there are all endangered species and the park is a wildlife reserve for them.

The coolest thing about monkey Mountain is that you can hand feed the monkeys popcorn. Thats right every visitor gets a handful of popcorn and you hold out your hand with 1 or 2 pieces of popcorn on it and a monkey will reach out and take the popcorn one piece at a time. It is awesome. There were 14 young monkeys (under 4) and 8 babies (under 1(and so cute)) and the oldest monkey was almost 30 (Nick's age). This place is best described in pictures so check them out there is also a video of the monkeys taking food out of our hands.
