A team of scientists working near a Kenyan nature reserve have been driven from their studies by more than three-hundred naked women.
The women stripped and ran into the research camp by the Tana River reserve on the Kenyan coast in an attempt to invoke a curse on the area.
Female public nudity is considered ill-omened in many Kenyan communities and the women hoped their protest would make the scientists think twice about annexing the land to extend the nature reserve.
Confronted by the unusual demonstration, the scientists abandoned their census of the rare red colobus monkey and fled.
