Monkeys from the Sacred Monkey forest roam parts of Ubud looking for opportunities to relieve tourists of food
The Galtaji Monkey Temple near Jaipur, in Rajasthan, India is a popular tourist and Hindu pilgrim destination. The site, which dates back to the 1500's, consists of a series of Hindu temples built into a narrow crevice in the hills that surround Jaipur. Water from a natural spring flows into a series of sacred pools (kunds) in which pilgrims bathe and youths play. The site is also famous for the numerous monkeys (rhesus macaques and langur monkeys) that live there and entertain the visitors.

The Howler Monkeys woke us very early on our first morning in the Osa Peninsula so I headed out to the deck to enjoy the morning sounds. Couldn’t believe it when a small troop of Squirrel Monkeys descended into a tree right next to us. After they left a pair of Scarlet Macaws landed in the same tree to eat the fruit followed by a Spider Monkey band. I was DELIRIOUS with excitement. Too much lens but didn’t dare move in case I frightened any of them off, nor did I have the presence of mind to take off my teleconverter.
You can see all 4 species of Costa Rican monkeys on the Osa Peninsula.

The picture of the monkey was taken by me today and then made into a newspaper in PhotoFunia for Flickrbingo4 - journalism

Another beautiful animal from our visit on Wildpark Löffingen. Due to the wintry weather conditions the monkey forest was closed, but we had the chance to make some captures through the fence.

The Japanese macaque, also known as the snow monkey, is a terrestrial Old World monkey species that is native to Japan. They get their name "snow monkey" because they live in areas where snow covers the ground for months each year – no other non-human primate is more northern-living, nor lives in a colder climate.

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.
Ok so we are not going to talk about how badly my legs need to be waxed (that will be dealt with tomorrow) or how translucently white I am (it is the Irish in me and Ill be damned if I can fix that quickly)...
But we can talk about how wacky and unexpected my Friday was and how this Sunday is my last day of anxiety knitting... Youpiee. Now let's hope it all works out and I can get my arse out of bed and to the office before 10:30am tomorrow... :)
The Patas Monkey is native to regions of Central Africa although this was taken at Woburn Safari Park, Bedfordshire. They can be a challenge to photograph well because their movements are extremely quick and they only remain still for a brief moment in time.
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.
Common Monkey Lizard (Polychrus marmoratus) - Cordillera Escalera Conservation Area, Peru
I was very excited to come across this common monkey lizard (Polychrus marmoratus) as its only the 2nd one I have seen here in Peru. I found the first early on and didn't get any wide angle photos which I immediately regretted, now more than a month later I got a chance to make up for it! These lizards are amazing; they spend their time up in the trees, slowly moving around, ambushing prey. They are well suited for an arboreal existence as their tails are long and atleast semi prehensile and their hands and feet are quite dexterous and able to grasp small branches and twigs, they remind me very much of chameleons in their habits and lifestyle. I suspect they are much more common than they seem but since they rarely descend to ground level they are infrequently seen (atleast by me).
