Monkeys were a terrible mania in this area. Of course, we were in their area, but they were really monkeying around! One decision we made as trekkers was to collect all plastic waste (actualy, anything non bio degradable) in a separate plastic bag and take it back to Chennai. One of these monkeys caught hold of the bags, took it to the top of the tree a limb of which was leading right on top of the stream. Of course, as was it's nature, it ripped them apart and discarded the waste "into" the stream in instalments! The exact opposite of what we intended. Four of us went into the stream, right under the monkey, caught the waste material was it was being discarded and repackaged it for Chennai! The monkey was really adamant and came back for the package - but we managed to shoo it away!

A coy-looking Red Colobus monkey in Jozani forest on the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania.

These monkeys are endemic to Zanzibar. The locals call them "kima punju" which means "poison monkey" in Swahili -- partly because of their strong smell and partly because they slowly kill off many of the trees on which they feed.

This batch of photos is from a recent trip-of-a-lifetime safari to the Selous Game Reserve and Zanzibar island in Tanzania, East Africa. What a wonderful and memorable experience it was.

scary monkey by Romero-Rama

...so the monkeys were allegedly there to raise "awareness" (read: financial contributions) for some non-profit group who helps them...the same group ties them with a really short leash to one spot for long periods of time. They seemed to miss the irony altogether in this.
