The Purple-Faced Leaf Monkey


This rather noisy, cross-looking and quarrelsome creature is very common in the gardens of Galle; I have been told that the locals do unfriendly things to it like set their dogs on them (though quite how the dogs swing through the trees in pursuit is beyond me). Anyway it turns out that this monkey is an endangered species. Not sure the locals are that bothered though.
