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.

MY B&W photography :
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.

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.

This statue is called "Laughing Mother" (also sometimes referred to as "The Smiling Woman") in the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia.
It depicts a large, joyful woman with monkeys clinging to her, symbolizing abundance, nurturing, and the playful spirit of the forest's macaques.
The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a nature reserve and a temple complex, also known as the Ubud Monkey Forest. The Sanctuary is home to over a thousand long-tailed macaques, who are considered sacred by the local Balinese people.
The monkeys who are lucky enough to call this beautiful area home are so much fun to watch. Sacred Monkey Forest is in the heart of Bali in the wonderful village of Ubud, home of artists and creative folks. Undoubtedly, this small haven for monkeys made up of mature green plants and trees is also one of my favorite areas to visit in the world

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.
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.
