mandrill

before i write anything about this mandrill i need to come clean on an embarrassing slip of the tongue that i suffered about 5 minutes ago. Every once in awhile we get to go to this fish restaurant on the ocean and its amazing because we get this incredibly fresh seafood instead of the nasty stuff we usually subsist on. today is one of those days and I was doing my best to arrange our ride in french. The name of the restaurant is Montombi but midsentence i spaced on the name and went for the first african word i could find that started with 'm'. Matufi. Thats what I ended up with. you know what matufi is? its shit. its actually a common word at a place with 130 chimps so its no wonder it was in my head. anyway, in front of like 15 people i asked if clautaire could take us to the shit restaurant tonight. oops.

Anyway, this is the mandrill:


There are actually like 8 mandrills here but this is the one who gets out constantly. She hates women so all the women here run like mad when she is out. she is not scared of people and is kind of vicious.


I think its funny though because she is such a trouble maker around here. the other day i left a door open and the mandrill ran in this food room and stole a gallon sized jar of dehydrated milk for the babies. i found it on the roof with its faced covered in white eating the stuff with two hands.
