BLONDIE
Photo taken on Rio Frio - Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, Jan 2007. Extremely rare 2 year old "blonde" howler monkey. Howler monkeys are usually dark in color. The blonde color is the result of a "spontaneous color break". Both parents possessed a recessive gene. Only one known to exist in the wild according to the guide. 28-200mm lens at 200mm, 1/320 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400.
