My favourite Christmas present this year was Lucy.

I was given her as an adoption gift from London Zoo. She is a Sulawesi Crested Macaque and although she has a rather stocky ape like appearance she is actually a monkey. Latin name Macaca nigra meaning 'black monkey' , these macaques are endangered. I don't know what her real name is but I have called her Lucy which seems to suit her. The downside of adoption is that she isn't allowed to come and stay ;o).
