This entry is an attempt at recreating my monkey entry, which I deem my favorite so far. I have an inordinate fondness for monkeys; so when I gave a talk on Saturday the 22nd to the Kansas Association of Biology Teachers about our snake research, I was elated when I arrived and immediately saw that my friend Jennifer had with her a baby java macaque. She was monkey-sitting for another friend of ours who owns an exotic animal sanctuary just outside of Kansas City. My student, Sean, my field assistant, William, and I all got to hold him (and his duck, to which he was hopelessly attached). So though meeting all of the teachers and sharing our project with them was great, meeting Alfie and his duck was the highlight of the day.
