Monos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Monos is an island in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It is one of the "Bocas Islands", which lie in the Bocas del Dragón (Dragons' Mouth) between Trinidad and Venezuela. It is so named as the island was once home to noisy Red Howler Monkeys (Monos being the Spanish term for Monkeys).
