waters of this primate sanctuary in
Texas so what are thick for snow monkeys

their stores they needed to be relocated
or they’d be killed the only place that
would take then was a remote corner of
good old Texas and this sanctuary was
built for them there so now instead of

offspring use water to cool off and have
fun something macaque seem to know how
to do wherever they are next time you
