Wikipedia: The dusky leaf monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus), also known as the spectacled langur, or the spectacled leaf monkey is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, and can occasionally be found in Singapore. During the day, these small, folivorous primates divide in sub-groups and forage for vegetation and fruit throughout the tropical forests. According to the IUCN, the dusky leaf monkey's population is declining due to habitat loss, poaching, and anthropogenic land use, which prompted the IUCN to classify the species as endangered in 2015.
Conservation status: Endangered

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Ceropithecus neglectus
SIZE: 61 cm
WEIGHT: 4 - 7.4 kg
Mammals
Omnivores
Native to Africa
Rain Forest
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.
Dear friends!

MY B&W photography :
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

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.

Also known as the silvered leaf monkey or the silvery lutung, these primates are considered critically endangered by the IUCN with only up 400 individuals in the wild. Found primarily in the Malay Penninsula, this family was spotted on Batam Island, nearby the penninsula.

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.
Monkeys are common to be spotted in the streets of Rishikesh. This image was captured during my stay at Into The Unknown Hostel near Laxhman Jhula, Rishikesh. It was ironic, because the painting below the fencing ‘Monkey Crossing’, was painted the same day I captured this image.
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.

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.
