Don't Feed the Monkeys!
Pictures of Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica

It's crucial not to feed to monkeys in Manuel Antonio National Park, or in any other Costa Rica National Park. The park is home to howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys (capuchins) and desperately endangered squirrel monkeys. By feeding them, humans place the animals at risk of a whole host of problems, like high cholesterol, heart disease, and other life-threatening illnesses. This isn't just a suggestion -- feeding monkeys is against the law.
