James used to draw these scientific

James used to draw these scientific names into us you’d have to know them

names into us you’d have to know them

names into us you’d have to know them and it is important so you don’t get

and it is important so you don’t get

and it is important so you don’t get confused between the trees and different

confused between the trees and different

confused between the trees and different common names sometimes common names get

very excited and happy that we found some monkeys this is always fun and

some monkeys this is always fun and

some monkeys this is always fun and entertaining to watch some of the

entertaining to watch some of the

entertaining to watch some of the monkeys outside of camp and away from

monkeys outside of camp and away from

monkeys outside of camp and away from camp I say that because they can get

very cheeky and they do steal things

very cheeky and they do steal things like food and sugar and coffee and all

like food and sugar and coffee and all

like food and sugar and coffee and all sorts of if you leave anything out the

sorts of if you leave anything out the

sorts of if you leave anything out the monkeys and the baboons will possibly

monkeys and the baboons will possibly

monkeys and the baboons will possibly raid the camp so it’s nice to see them

raid the camp so it’s nice to see them

raid the camp so it’s nice to see them out of the camp and feeding on natural

out of the camp and feeding on natural

out of the camp and feeding on natural food like this jackal berry fruit

I also think with these monkeys being

I also think with these monkeys being around they would probably probably

around they would probably probably

around they would probably probably irritate the owl and probably chase the

irritate the owl and probably chase the

irritate the owl and probably chase the owl out of the trees

now Eduardo you are asking just

now Eduardo you are asking just something that was on my mind you were

something that was on my mind you were

something that was on my mind you were wondering if the Eagle Owl the giant

wondering if the Eagle Owl the giant

wondering if the Eagle Owl the giant eagle owl could feed on on one of these

eagle owl could feed on on one of these

eagle owl could feed on on one of these monkeys and see if there is any any sign

monkeys and see if there is any any sign

monkeys and see if there is any any sign of them feeding on monkeys and yes there

of them feeding on monkeys and yes there

of them feeding on monkeys and yes there is and water they would so maybe the

is and water they would so maybe the

is and water they would so maybe the younger monkeys adults a baboon baboons

younger monkeys adults a baboon baboons

younger monkeys adults a baboon baboons are far too big but the younger smaller

are far too big but the younger smaller

are far too big but the younger smaller monkeys yes the Giant Eagle are will try

monkeys yes the Giant Eagle are will try

monkeys yes the Giant Eagle are will try and catch them but I think if these are

and catch them but I think if these are

and catch them but I think if these are monkeys around in the trees and the

monkeys around in the trees and the

monkeys around in the trees and the adults will probably chase the owl away

it’s interesting if they say that a

it’s interesting if they say that a giant eagle owl can even has even been

giant eagle owl can even has even been

giant eagle owl can even has even been recorded in catching young piglets

recorded in catching young piglets

recorded in catching young piglets warthog piglets well that’s interesting

warthog piglets well that’s interesting

warthog piglets well that’s interesting I wouldn’t have guessed that

od farming you asked if there any other

od farming you asked if there any other primates around here that we see yes and

primates around here that we see yes and

primates around here that we see yes and the baboons the Chacma baboon probably

the baboons the Chacma baboon probably

the baboons the Chacma baboon probably not probably it is the largest primates

not probably it is the largest primates

not probably it is the largest primates out here other than Tristan but he’s on

out here other than Tristan but he’s on

out here other than Tristan but he’s on leave at the moment so it’s I managed
