*A funny story about the vervet monkey. We couldn't always understand perfectly what our guide was saying because he has an accent (although his English was very good). So when he told us we were seeing vervet monkeys, all the adults in the car thought he was saying velvet monkey. We have had a wildlife book since our friends the Engstroms gave us theirs and Tommy had spent some time reading it. So when I said it was called a velvet monkey and suggested he look it up, he found the monkey, pushed the book toward me and said, "try to keep up, Mom."
