Patas Monkey

I was fortunate with this lone male, he wasn't too worried about us. Usually patas monkeys (and vervet monkeys) are extremely shy and run as far as they can from a car. They are very difficult to photograph.

Patas or Red monkey (Erythrocebus patas patas, Patas ou Singe rouge).

Parc National de la Pendjari, Benin.
