semnopithecus monkeys. They
moved away rapidly + I
failed to hit any at long range
across a ravine where I first
sighted them. Some of the
f's had orange color young
clinging to their bellies.
10 It rained hard most of
the night + on the morning
showers continued up to
noon. My traps contained
only 2 olive insectivores
+ one mouse. On the trail
welling in the forest we
encountered the gray apes
again. Jesus accompanied
by a local fijo hunter
with his two dogs + cross
bow gun. The monkeys
showed little fear of the
dogs but when we came
in sighted they moved
away then the fives with
much speed. I fired from
an old f + dropped her + then
run after the fleeing troop
but got no more close shots.
When me returned to the f a
half grown young avenus in.
