A troop of monkeys is giving Kenyan villagers long days and sleepless nights, destroying crops and causing a food crisis.
Local MP Paul Muite told parliament that the monkeys had taken to harassing and mocking women in a village.
Nachu's women have tried wearing their husbands' clothes in an attempt to trick the monkeys into thinking they are men - but this has failed, they say.
"The monkeys can tell the difference ... They just ignore us and continue to steal the crops."
"The monkeys grab their breasts, and gesture at us while pointing at their private parts."
I have also been harassed by vervets. The vervet in the photo above stole my bananas.
The vervet was quick and smart, I must grant him that. But he was also greedy.
The bunch of bananas - about eight bananas - was too heavy for the vervet. He could therefore only drag them behind him, slowing him down considerably, and keeping him from the trees. My pursuit through woods and valleys was closing the gap.
I was about to dive for the bananas - honest, actually dive for them - when the vervet cut his losses by plucking one banana from the bunch and scrambling up a tree. He chattered down at me sarcastically between bites of his purloined banana.
I believe I shook my fist at him, as humans are known to do when provoked.
