Zanzibar: Red Colobus Monkeys

Some pictures of the Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys from the Jozani Forest in Zanzibar. These little monkeys were so brave, I was within a few feet of them the whole time. 
They are an endangered species. To read more see the Wikipedia article or an entry in the African Wildlife Fund website.
Fun fact: Their name means "mutilated one" because, unlike other monkeys they don't have thumbs.
