Two males - one adult and one juvenile of the same troop were electrocuted simultaneously.  When Colobus Trust arrived on the scene, both were low to the ground.  Not surprisingly, the transformer where they were electrocuted was dangerously built in a residential area.  Both Colobus were darted and brought into the Trust's veterinary clinic.  The juvenile suffered superficial wounds and so was treated for shock and released back into the troop later that afternoon.

Unfortunately, the adult suffered greater injuries.  After three days of captive treatment, he stopped feeding and the decision to release him was made.  Upon release, he began to eat though this turned out to be temporary.  Though he was followed regularly to monitor his progress, we were unable to re-dart him due to his constant position too high in the tree canopy.  He went missing several weeks after release.
