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.

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.

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).

MY B&W photography :
The Three Mystic Apes : "SEE no evil, HEAR no evil, SPEAK no evil" The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.
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.
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.

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.
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).
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.
