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

The beach and area is beautiful, but be extremely careful around the monkeys. , I read up on the island and found monkey bites are so common. The main problem is tourists feeding the monkeys. Knowing what I know now, I would’ve stayed in the water and watched from afar or stayed on the boat because I too was attacked by a mother monkey . The monkeys are unpredictable and far too comfortable with humans and aggressive due to being fed. If you do get bit Phi Phi hospital is excellent at administering immunoglobulin shots into the wound and then the first of 5 rabies shots. Be careful

CONSERVATION STATUS
Least concern
These large monkeys have a unique way of avoiding potential predators. They freeze if startled and, because their fur is a greenish brown colour, they blend very well into the background and can’t be easily seen.
Although currently classed as being of Least Concern, their numbers are decreasing because their native habitats are dwindling due to deforestation and climate change. They are also victims of the human bushmeat trade. Natural predators include eagles and leopards.
DeBrazza’s monkeys can live for about 22 years in the wild. They generally produce just one infant per year. Here in the Zoo, they are fed a fairly varied diet including carrots, seeds, a prepared diet, oranges and rice.

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.

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

DoodlewashMarch2026 prompts: 2-Banana, 3-Owl
Did you know that the owl monkey species are the only truly nocturnal monkeys in the world? And that bananas aren’t good for any monkey, unless they’re wild, unlike the high sugar, low-fiber Cavendish bananas we eat. Even then, they aren’t always a monkey favorite.

"Colors change: in the morning light, red shines out bright and clear and the blues merge into their surroundings, melting into the greens; but by the evening the reds loose their piquancy, embracing a quieter tone and shifting toward the blues in the rainbow. Yellow flowers remain bright, and white ones become luminous, shining like ghostly figures against a darkening green background."
- Rosemary Verey, The Scented Garden, 1981
I love the photo of the monkey - just looking at the evening.

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.
