My silver leaf monkey experience - by Frankie

One day we went to the proboscis monkey place and we saw hundreds of them.  Then we went to watch a film about proboscis monkeys.  After we got out, we immediately saw some silver-leaf monkeys and then more and more of them. I saw two baby ones and I named the small one 'Jumper' and he was mine. The one with the black face was called 'Nibbler" and he was Louis'. After a while we saw a tiny monkey that was Mummy's, called 'Lucky Man', but he wasn't very lucky because he was so wanted by the other monkeys he got pulled around!  Also there was another one which was Daddy's called Bubble.

Cute little Nibbler!!!!

He looks curious 

"Ow you're hurting me!!!!!!!!!!"

Greedy pants!!!

All of the monkeys kept on jumping on us and one time Nibbler jumped on my face!  When it was almost time to go we put our feet on the steps and then the daddy one jumped right over them!

A moment later the daddy one grabbed the small one and jumped over  our legs!

I was careful not to touch the monkeys but Nibbler came and landed on me!
