Monkey bridge

This is so commonplace to me. This afternoon, while walking back to my office from lunch in the dining hall, I saw a big commotion up in the trees near the bridge (which I was walking on at the time). It was a big troop of howler monkeys eating leaves in one of the Inga trees! I have been crossing the bridge many times when these monkeys were crossing too. They just walk along the cables and I try not to bug them...like ships passing in the night. I also try to dodge their poop. Heehee, I have shared the bridge with a bunny, porcupine, olingo, kinkajou, and a coati. Think of it as an aerial highway for the arboreal (and some terrestrial) mammals!
