When Our Monkey Grows Up

The Bantu that live down the road told us that this is an adult species of the monkey that we have. We took these pictures about a year ago. The hunter shot it in the forest and tied its tail around the monkey’s neck so that he could wear it home…pleasant, huh? Our monkey will look like this when she grows up…hopefully not worn as a backpack of a hunter, though. Here’s a link to a page about our specific type of monkey (a Crowned Monkey): http://www.bioko.org/wildlife/pogonias.asp
