Colobus Monkey the gentleman of the forest

The Colobus monkeys of Diani Beach, Kenya are a captivating sight. Known for their gentle and peaceful nature, these herbivores are a stark contrast to their opportunistic Sykes monkey cousins. Content to feast on leaves, fruits, flowers, and twigs, they live harmoniously in large family groups, fostering a strong sense of community. Their striking black and white coats and long, flowing hair make them easily recognizable, a dramatic difference from the pure white fur of their newborns. The accompanying images offer a glimpse into the lives of these beautiful creatures within their natural habitat amidst the lush coastal forests of Diani Beach.
