One such individual was Sir George Grey, who liberated many animals on his estate (mercifully on an island), including wildebeest, monkeys, zebras, wallabies, deer, cassowaries, emu and kookaburras. We don’t have monkeys, or wildebeest, or salmon here. To access the entire week’s worth of content just click here.

With their high cellulose content and often raised levels of toxins drawn from the ground, mature leaves can be very difficult to digest so a folivore needs specialised equipment and adapted behaviour to be able to live off them.

Their fragile homes, meager belongings and scant livestock attested to this, and yet the people seemed content with their lot in life. Game was not plentiful but the highlight was finding a beautiful female Leopard with her cub next to the road, and along the Mago River, a Da Brazza’s Monkey gorging himself on figs. Mursi woman.

Look out for the Howler Monkeys too. On the left you will find a small island on which some Black Cappuchin Monkeys have been marooned and rely on handouts from the park workers and visitors. The park is sited close to a poor district of town and I suspect that these areas provide much of the river’s content.
