Four large primates were making their way through the trees, foraging for food on the villa’s grounds. I grabbed my camera and ran over, careful not to infuriate them (they have a tendency to pee and throw poop during confrontation). Several minutes later, I was feeling comfortable in their presence and threw caution to the wind; from deep in my throat, I conjured a howler wail, encouraging their alpha male to scream his response.
Laughter erupted behind me. Fabian stood there, doubled over, chuckling. Irritated, I demanded to know what was so funny. Apparently, he didn’t appreciate my howler imitation. To be fair, the alpha monkey didn’t either; he hadn’t even looked my way. Fabian gave it a shot, but his attempt was at least as poor as my own – not one howler reacted. We did irritate one individual – the gardener next door stared at us, his expression half bewildered, half bemused. I don’t mind looking ridiculous, so I grinned at him and shrugged.
