Rare Colebus Monkeys



Taken in the Aberdare forest. Aberdare was the only place where we saw the fabulous colobus monkeys with their luxuriant, extravagant tails. The forest was so dense there was very little light, so my pictures don’t do them justice. They are protected now, but the Kikiyu and Maasi tribes used their tails in their warrior attire.
