This photo is from my first camera in 2014, the Canon SX50. A wire sculpture of a monkey riding a bike. I edited in Topaz Studio 1/PSE 17 and added a distressed texture to it.
The Spectacled Langur is also known as the Dusky Leaf Monkey or Spectacled Leaf Monkey. They belong to the Cercopithecidae family and are found in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand.
As one of the many leaf eating (folivorous) monkey species, the Spectacled Langur gets his name from the white rings around his eyes which make him look like he is wearing glasses (spectacles).
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.
Once in a while you get the opportunity to photograph outside your comfort zone, this is one of those moments that I look back on with pleasure, I hope you think so too, tell me......:)
The Grivet Monkey is only found in the Horn Of Africa. This one was seen in Awash, Ethiopia and approached closely as it watched us eating our al fresco meal.
Coming 2 y.o. Affenpinscher (aka The Monkey Dog), Morticia. Even at rest, she has her eye on you and if you move, she'll swings into action. :0)

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.
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.
A man with a Southern Pig-tailed Macaque on a chain. This species of monkey are trained to pick coconuts in Thailand which has become very controversial and resulted in many Thai coconut products being boycotted. Wildlife and animal protection groups claim the monkeys are abused and treated harshly. The Thai government and coconut producers claim otherwise.
The Golden Monkey's are usually camera shy but I was thankful to catch a glimpse of this colorful one.

This Albino Monkey is getting ready to travel to a toy show in Atlanta, Georgia. His arms and fingers are posable. I've worked with a wired skeleton once before and I love the results. It really makes me feel like a toy maker.
You might remember seeing his cousin before.
This adorable monkey with clear, beautiful eyes was our companion at the camp where we were staying in South Africa. He was quite crafty in quickly grabbing food off the tables at breakfast and lunch!
