Blue Monkey on Mt Kenya


The blue monkey — also known as Sykes’ Monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis) — on Mt Kenya.



The Kenyan government recently announced plans to build an electric fence around Mt. Kenya to discourage animals from venturing into farms and populated areas around Africa’s second largest peat. Once completed the fence will be 400 km (250 miles) long and stand 2 meters (six-and-a-half feet) high.



I hiked up Mount Kenya in 2007. You can see my photos at Mount Kenya pictures and read an account at Climbing Africa’s second highest mountain.
