On December 3rd, a man came by the Colobus Trust.  He was sent by his employer to report a monkey on the grounds of the Marine Station in Diani.   Upon arrival at the Marine Station, the Sykes troop was still present though they had moved away from the immediate area of the adult female Sykes monkey on the ground.  This gave us the room to capture her to bring her back to the Trust without further stress on the group.  Lying on the ground unable to move her legs, she was easily anesthetized. 

After a month in rehabilitation, receiving vitamin B complex and antibiotics, the use of her legs return though the feet still have little strength.  We expect that they will also return to function properly with time. 

On January 13th, the female's troop was located and she was released.  She quickly jumped out of the cage into the bushes.  She was followed that day and several days later.  After a number of weeks she had started to gain weight and was doing well with the troop.

Still paralyzed.  Kept in small cage to facilitate daily injections.	As movement in the legs returned, the female was moved to a larger cage to promote movement.
