A pirate monkey disguised as part of the Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm sign. Pirate monkeys attacked Dawn on the Amazon as the boat entered the territorial waters of the Amazon Animal Orphanage and Pilpintuwasi Butterfly Farm. Several of the Monkey Buccaneers swung on board and demanded booty. When the crew refused, the pirates took Captain Bill Grimes hostage and demanded a ransom of bananas, and snacks. 
Monkey pirate swings on board near butterfly farm. The Captain of the Port and the Coast Guard were alerted. Led by Tecnico Eddie Collantes, the Coast Guard and Marines descended in full force, routed the monkey pirates sending them back to their hideouts, and rescued the tourists and crew of Dawn on the Amazon. 
Butterfly Farm Buccaneer. Cristina Alegria, the director of tourism says; “This is the second attack in two days. Monkey Pirates are becoming more of a problem and are bad for tourism. Something must be done. Perhaps it is time to hire mercenaries to stop the monkey pirates.” This is clearly a case of organized crime. When the pirates swung on board one of the crew of Dawn on the Amazon, Edson Marinho, overheard the war lord Chavo, give an order in monkey spanish, “Take everything you can and give nothing back.” 
A Butterfly Farm Buccaneer. Captain Bill Grimes says, “They were too fast for us. In no time they had stolen our snacks, extra flashlight batteries, our toilet paper, and to add insult to injury, one of the monkey pirates took a dump in our shower bucket.” A senior UN-official who asked not to be identified for this story, says it is “difficult to determine which monkey buccaneer is Robin Hood, and which is Captain Hook.” 
Is this Robin Hood or Captain Hook? Note his Jolly-Roger bandana Junior is the cute one. In the up-coming movie, Dawn on the Amazon and the Monkey Pirates, Junior will be played by Johnny Depp. 
Junior attacks Marmelita. These photos of the monkey pirates were taken clandestinely by David Leer, one of the hostages, using his cell phone.
