“Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike." ~John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

Homo Sapien meets Simian

Trudging up the steep path to Mount Arashiyama, you can’t help but notice the ominous warning signs dotting the trail. Adorned with cartoon monkeys, the signs declare the Iwatayama Monkey Park rules. Rule 1: Do not touch the monkeys. Rule 2: Do not feed the monkeys outside. Rule 3: Do not stare at the monkeys in the eye. Failure to adhere to the third rule may cause you to find yourself in an old Western style show-down with a beady-eyed alpha male Macaque as tumble weeds blow by. If you manage not to make eye contact with any male monkeys, reaching the summit of Mount Arashiyama reveals a voyeuristic look into the monkey's living room as primates go about their daily business of playing, fighting, and grooming. In this open air park, humans step inside an enclosed wire cage to feed the monkeys up close. And just like the cartoon monkeys on the signs, they prefer —you guessed it—bananas.

Otter Toddler

Inhabitants of the giant kelp forests that grow in the frigid coastal waters from Santa Barbara’s Coal Oil Point to Half Moon Bay, Southern Otters were hunted to near extinction at the turn of the last century. Conservation efforts conducted by organizations like the Aquarium of the Pacific have ensured that they are protected by law so that there are now approximately 2,800 otters living along the California coastline. The newest addition to the otter family at the Aquarium, is Betty, (named in honor of longtime supporter Betty White), who was found as a week-old pup upstate. As the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service deemed her non-releasable because she had not yet learned the necessary skills to survive in the wild, she was transferred to the Aquarium where at ten months old she has earned the nicknamed of “Banshee” for wailing loudly when she isn’t served her favorite meals.
