Monkeys, Monkeys Yay!



Tafi Atome monkey sanctuary

Today we went to the monkey sanctuary and the monkeys would jump up onto your hand where you hold a banana out and they peel it and eat it right there on your arm. While one monkey is eating another will jump up and push the other off and start eating really fast so they get every thing that’s left of the banana. If the monkey can’t jump directly from the ground to your hand they just use another person as a step stool. Once we were out of bananas the monkeys started playing and wrestling and climbing and jumping from one tree to another. The monkey’s feet are like our hands. They are Mona monkeys at the Tafi Atome Monkey Sanctuary. They think that the monkeys are protected by the gods. That’s why there is a sanctuary protecting them.  - Brook
