Travelers report white monkeys gathering in groups in South Africa where two games resemble cricket and football. One monkey bowls a cocoanut toward a dodging teammate in a primitive cricket mockup, while another uses feet to keep a cocoanut ball away in a rudimentary football style game. The piece notes no referee and hints at possible rugby-like conflict if the ball is seized.
