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.

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.

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

Monkeys come before breakfast and steal the sugar packs off the tables, from the restaurant located below the very tall trees.

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.
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)
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.
Polonnaruwa is home to a vast monkey population living among the impressively preserved ruins.

Enjoy your sunday evening,

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).
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.
