One Island, multiple Names
The Portuguese navigator Fernão do Pó, the first European to visit the island in 1472 named it #FormosaFlora (Beautiful Flower), but in 1494 it was renamed by Europeans as #FernãoDoPó and later the name of the island is changed from Pó to Póo, so the islands Name was #FernandoPóo. Under the Africanization policy of dictator Masie Nguema Biyogo it was renamed #MasieNguemeBiyogo Island. The island's native name in the Bube language is #Otcho. The modern name is #Bioko.

“The White Old Maid” by #NathanielHawthorne is his most tantalizing narrative experiments.

The tableau is memorably #gothic: illuminated by moonlight, through the window of a mansion, the corpse of a young man who lies upon his bed, flanked by two beautiful young women—one “proud and stately,” whom he had not chosen, “and the other, a soft and fragile thing,” who was destined to be his wife. The second—and final—tableau shows us the same two women reunited in old age.

The #NatureReserve around San Antonio de #Ureca is characterized to possess with 11 species of primates and large stretches of as-yet-unspoiled forest habitat the largest variety of #primates in the world; of course in proportion to its size and number.

Nevertheless, a rare sight is this large, dominant male #drill #monkey (Mandrillus leucophaeus) - (not to be confused with their close relative #mandril (Mandrillus sphinx) - who is going to enjoy some #figs on Equatorial Guinea’s #Bioko Island
