Vervet monkeys in the Chobe NP, Botswana
I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

Also called Chopsticks Hill or Monkey Mountain this headland is well known for being populated by a large number of monkeys around the temple on top. This was my ultimate destination for the day. Note the 20 metres high golden Buddha
Black Howler Monkey
Community Baboon Sanctuary, Belize
I had seen many howler monkeys before, and heard many howler monkeys before, but this was the first time that I actually SAW howlers HOWLING. It is a visceral experience. Your brain tells you that you are probably safe, but your gut tells you something very different.
These monkeys roam free and are protected by the community of residents that have promised to keep them safe. Imagine that! Belize is a pretty cooled out place.
Dear friends!
Thank you so much for your kind comments and visits! They are appreciated. Stay safe dears
With love
Geetha :)
MY B&W photography :
The Three Mystic Apes : "SEE no evil, HEAR no evil, SPEAK no evil" The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

Red titi monkeys are New World monkeys, a term describing monkeys from South and Central America. Red titi monkeys have coarse fur which varies in colour across the body. Their undersides and the sides of the face are red, their backs are a darker brown and they have a white band across the brow.
Monkey Forest, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. These little rascals roam among the unsuspecting tourists, snatching glasses and purses when not being watched. They then run back up into the trees, looted prizes in hand. The guards shine green laser at them, hoping the bright light into the eyes would shock them into dropping whatever they are holding. This is only occasionally effective. The most of the time the monkeys just sneer at the poor victims and the guards before hopping away.
We went on a nice leisurely walk at Venus Loop this morning, and we got quite close to some tame long tailed/crab eating macaques.
How cute is this monkey & infant? 🐒 Did you know that the Blue Atlas Cedar, a tree native of Morocco, and used as a landscape specimen here in the United States, is used as a protective home for many of these monkeys in the wild? This troop or barrel of Barbary macaque monkeys is the only wild population of monkeys on the European continent. Even though they are endangered, they are a thriving in the Gibraltar Nature Reserve. They're originally from the Atlas & Rif Mountains of Morocco.

The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa. The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries. These mostly herbivorous monkeys have black faces and grey body hair color, ranging in length from about 50 centimetres (20 in) for males to about 40 centimetres (16 in) for females.
In addition to very interesting behavioral research on natural populations, vervet monkeys serve as a nonhuman primate model for understanding genetic and social behaviors of humans. They have been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use. Vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males changing groups at the time of sexual maturity. The most significant studies done on vervet monkeys involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition and particular predator sightings.
Vervet monkeys, also known as Chlorocebus pygerythrus, are medium-sized primates that live in Africa. They are native to the Old World and are the most widespread monkey on the continent. Vervets are found throughout Southern Africa, as well as some eastern countries, from Senegal to Ethiopia and south to South Africa.
The green monkeys found in Barbados originally came from Senegal and the Gambia in West Africa approximately 350 years ago. About 75 generations have occurred since these monkeys arrived in Barbados and, as a result of environmental differences and evolution, the Barbados monkeys today have different characteristics than those in West Africa.
The monkeys are found mainly in the parishes of St.John, St.Joseph, St.Andrew and St.Thomas, where much natural vegetation and woodlands still exist. However, monkeys can also be seen traveling through hotel grounds in St.Peter and St.James.
