I have been acquiring new Howlers since the epidemic. These include the following:
Shirley Temple. Fell out of a tree near the clearing a couple of months ago, and caught by one of the boys. Quite small. Apparently in good health, but quite shy, easily frightened, and rather "sullen" Certainly not fixated on me.
Gladys. Bought at the nearest market about a month ago. Larger than Shirley Temple; but not much. Not fixated on me; but not nearly so shy as Shirley Temple. Apparently has just reached the playful stage.
Both Shirley Temple and Gladys seem to be typical of the local population of Howlers. Quite black all over.
