Betsy This is Betsy. Betsy is an orphan, and the first hand reared Angolan black and white colobus monkey in history. Colobus habitat is fragmented throughout their range on Kenya’s south coast. While foraging for food the monkeys often have to cross the busy main road leading to the hotels. Consequently, there are frequent fatalities and injuries as taxis and matatus race back and forth picking up and delivering tourists.Betsy currently lives at the Colobus Trust whom specializes in rehabilitating, re-releasing, and protecting this endangered species, as well as other monkeys living in the area. One of Colobus Trust’s main conservation initiatives is constructing bridges across the main road called Colobridges, which enable monkeys to cross the road safely while searching for food.
