150 rangers killed in the Virunga NP since 2006. All heros who died for the protection of gorillas 🦍🌳. Deeply saddened for each life lost 😭.

Does a red monkey plus a blue monkey make purple babies? 🧐🙈

Looks like the Zanzibar red colobus should be added to the 450+ animal species which practice homosexual behaviours. Who ever said homosexuality is "not natural" or "ungodly" should open an animal behaviour book or spend some time in nature! 🏳️‍🌈

We've actually found a few skulls over the year in Jozani forest. At least 6 so far.

The forest is full of mysteries 🌱💀🙊

Today we watched one of the Zanzibar red colobus mothers drink her own breast milk. Has anyone else observed this in other NHP species?

[Sofie Semmler @Bananas4BioAnth]

@ZanzRedColobus @Zoe_Melvin Mtoto definitely was the cutest but then again, I'm kinda bias.

[Sofie Semmler @Bananas4BioAnth]

@BangorPrimates @zoeannrule That is disappointing. I was sure it was all pre-organised and planned. Was it the budget? It's always the budget 🤑

@JohnDFowler Every true scientists gets poop in the mouth at some point or another, mostly involuntarily and sometimes not. Show your true scientist 💩
