Barbados Green Monkeys

These green monkeys are so cute and do they ever loooove mangoes. I have a huge mango tree in our backyard guarded from two-legged thieves by a large Akita dog.

However she is no match for tree swinging four-legged green monkey thieves. The whole family comes (daddy monkey, mummy monkey with baby clinging on underneath and some toddler monkeys) making their way across an open lot tightrope walking on the power cables and then leaping into the tree.

They come at breakfast and tea-time to feast on our fruit, choosing the nicest ones, taking one/two bites and then dropping the half-eaten rest into our garden sending our poor dog into a frenzy.

Actually the dog too is quite fond of mangoes so my husband and I can only get mangoes late in the season when both sets of animals have had their fill!
