Colobus Monkey, Mt. Kenya
An interesting monkey; the Colobus is strictly vegetarian, has a stomach that can hold a weight of food equal to the monkey's (empty) body-weight, and has a hand with four fingers and no thumb. It also has a lightweight skeleton and an effective parachute made up of a tail and mantle of long white fur- as shown here. 15 foot (5m) leaps are all in a days travel.

Laundry Day- Lake Baringo Kenya
Laundry day for these women with their children on Kokwe Island, Lake Baringo. There are plenty of crocs around, but attacks on humans are uncommon- and the people, mainly relying on fishing with nets, tend to leave the crocs alone as well.....
