Creative Criminals

Kauã originates from Tamarin (a tribe from Golden Lion Monkeys) in the Atlantic Rainforest near South-East Brazil. He was born blind and pretty soon his mother abandoned him because of his handicap. Determined to survive he learned to look with his ears and kept on living.

In the 70’s hunters were hired to provide the rich people in Asia with monkey meat. Kauã got captured and was taken to China. Before they tried to slaughter him, he was able to escape. Lost in China, a monk of the Shaolin temple noticed the remarkable monkey and took him under his wings.
