As I've been getting messages from Susan, I find myself researching some of the places and animals she and Dad have come across on their African adventure.
Early yesterday she had told me there were monkeys all over Lindsay and Angela's back yard. Knowing that I like monkeys, she was sure to fill me in on this sort of information. I asked what kind they were, the answer was Vervet Monkeys.
So the research started. I came across this BBC video posted on YouTube about alcoholic Vervet Monkeys and just had to give it a look. Yes, you read that right, alcoholic monkeys. These monkeys were transported (along with slaves) from Africa to the Caribbean islands many moons ago. It's an amazing video ... and very funny too. Makes you think twice about Darwin's theories.
