Monkey Business !!!

Jon and I were in the living room planning our next lesson.  I got up to get
something and saw a monkey sitting in the hallway eating one of the 6
bananas he had stolen from our pantry.  He ran out the door and jumped up
onto the roof of the house where he proceded to eat 3 more while we
watched him.  One banana had rolled off the roof and I rescued it for
our breakfast.  He left one up there for the birds to feast on later.

The Gerenuk

The long-necked antelope feeds by standing goat-like
on its hindlegs to nibble on leaves other antelope
cannot reach.  There is a baby in the 2nd picture.
There is a male and 3 females standing under the tree.
