We took a tour and got there for the afternoon feeding. The monkeys get there first and pick through the sweet potatoes and sunflower seeds. These monkeys are descendants of pet monkeys from Robert Blight of the Mutiny on the Bounty fame which is a story all should read. Sometimes the turtles don't move fast enough, which means they will be stools:
But sometimes it is more comfortable to have your potato in a tree. You know, more natural:
Here is a monkey bored, annoyed, waiting for lunch to be brought out. 
These are tortoises underfoot, which looked like paving stones. One woman accidentally stood on one. She felt terrible.
This is proof that the world still has mystery. What the hell is this alien? That is the size of a small german shepard, and so out of proportion that it looks smaller in a photo? Why, it is half rat, half deer! Sure! Cross those! Ladies and gentlemen, a (creepy) mara:

Do the tortoises ever move fast enough not to be stools?
