The howler monkeys in these photos wanted to cross the road from the trees on the left to a grove of trees that leads to the beach on the right. The problem, however, is that the canopy of the trees does not cover the road.
The alpha male howler jumped through the air, and I managed to catch him in the middle of his leap. He grabbed the branches on the right and climbed up into the tree. He then waited for the rest of the group to follow him.
What do you think happened next? The answer, as usual, will be shown tomorrow.
Today is Sunday, so we have new photos today on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. This week we are showing scenes of Tanzania, including a Maasai child, wildlife, and the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.
What a good shot catching him mid flight.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the rest of his troop walked across the road.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at how long this male looks; he's obviously very agile...and very brave!
ReplyDeletegeronimo!
ReplyDeleteI think I will climb down, saunter across the street, and hope that the rest of the gang decides to come down before I have to climb up.
