A friendly cuddle with a spider monkey

MEET Pimienta, the beautiful little spider monkey from Bolivia who just wants to cuddle anyone who comes close.

GOSKA is passionate about animals.

The Polish woman devotes much of her time to travelling around the world, volunteering at sanctuaries and caring for creatures in need of some loving care.

While in Bolivia this year, she had the opportunity to spend time with a friendly spider monkey. It seems all the animal wanted was a cuddle!

The monkey, named Pimienta, was rescued by SOS and brought to La Senda Verde in February 2011.

Goska described cuddling with monkeys as “one of the most amazing experiences” during her time volunteering, saying: “This Bolivian Animal Refuge is dedicated to improving the lives of rescued Native Bolivian Wildlife, providing them with medical attention, food, and housing.”

If one thing’s for certain, it’s that we could all use a cuddle like this right about now.
