A bloom of monkeys...
A big and rather beautiful tree grew a couple of hundred yards from the verandah just below us. There was a crash and rustle amongst the leaves. And then, suddenly, it seemed as though the whole tree had burst into bloom, a bloom of monkeys. They were Red and Black Colobus, and they were the most breathtaking sight.
"Another pot-pourri of animal anecdotes, based on hectic days on the author's Jersey zoo and his forays to various corners of the earth to rescue animal species in danger of extinction."
