After Dolphins, we were led to this forest that was once
said to cover all of Zanzibar. It is the
home to the rare, RED colobus monkey which is found nowhere else in the
world. To be honest, I’m a little bored
of Monkeys. I’ve watched them here and
there SO many times --- indian temples, Lincolnpark Zoo, Costa Rica, Ecuador,
etc. that I’m tired of them. So, I
suffice it to say yup, they’re there in the Jhozani forest, clearing out entire
trees in the forest with their voracious appetites. As we walked through I joked about how I didn’t
want one of them to shit on me… J joked ‘’M, you’re a nut…”. 5 minutes later, as predicted, Nat and J
almost got pissed on from 30 feet up by a Red Colobus Monkey. I can’t lie, when I say I was slightly
jealous it happened to them instead of me…what a story it would make to tell
someone you were pissed on by a Rare, Red Colobus Monkey! But now I’ve spent too much time talking
about creatures that no longer pique my interest, so I shall move on.
