oh... they're awesome creatures. Totally fearless.

touch them with your finger.....and watch them squirt a puff of fine misty fluid from their backsides at you.... (photo challenge right there...capture that)

Have to continue with one more monkey picture. These are sneaky devils. Come looking cute and dump.. It was nothing but diversion. Once again, they managed to fool me. RIP papaya.
