Day 3: Community Baboon Sanctuary, Foster Studios, and The Belize Zoo

Hello everyone! Today, half of the group toured the Community Baboon Sanctuary - a community organized Black Howler monkey reserve. The monkeys - including a couple of babies - came in close proximity of us. :)  Here are some of the highlights:

The other half of the group spent the day shooting footage on the Foster's wildlife sets. After a swim break in the afternoon at the beautiful Sibun river and then dinner back at the TEC, the groups went to The Belize Zoo on a night tour and to the Fosters to spend an hour or so at the opossum and bat sets. A warm, but active and rewarding day...!
