That is fantastic! Also, I am so glad the series is helping future IVP volunteers! I hope you learn a lot and find the inspiration and fulfillment that I did! Enjoy! 😄🐒
Awesome and very informative video
Wow how fortunate to have experienced something like that!!
How do they not get pricked by the euphorbia prickers?
Euphorbia ingens was the species and the branches I saw through binoculars didn’t have any spines, it was really only at the very tips where there was new grown and the spines were small. But on a related note, these monkeys would climb invasive torch cactuses and bite off chunks from them seemingly without getting pricked at all! It was amazing!
@@psychedfornature4366 Woah, amazing!
