One more reason to recycle that plastic water bottle. So, it doesn't end up in her Living Room.
Or better yet, just get some from the tap.

Diana Monkey, Omaha Zoo. by Joel Sartore
Sartore photographed this female Diana monkey (Cercopithecus diana) at the Omaha Zoo as part of his Photo Ark project, through which he is documenting thousands of rare species.
"Half of all the species on Earth could be headed irreversibly toward extinction by 2100. Not if I can help it," Sartore says. "That's the idea behind the Photo Ark: getting the public to look these creatures in the eye, then care enough to save them while there's still time."
Learn more about the Photo Ark and see more pictures from the project.

Watching that manta... And then watching her... And really contemplating the brilliance involved in evolution... In how we all evolved to fit in our environment, in our climate... Well... I can't wrap my gills around it.
