This little guy was trying to climb the rope. I guess this is an important skill for young primates to master, and the family was there with him (if you'll pardon the awful pun) "showing him the ropes". At first he was tentative, but with the encouragement of his relatives, he finally made it up the rope and stood triumphantly on a little stump of wood at the top. At that point, his mother had had enough and she climbed up there and grabbed him, probably thinking to herself, we've had enough of this for today. The little guy was cute and all of these folks look strangely familiar. Hard to believe that Darwin wasn't right.
