(Cercopithecus mona) The mona monkey is an Old World monkey that usually lives in west Africa between Ghana and Cameroon. But they are also found on the island of Grenada as it was transported to the island aboard slave ships headed to the New World during the 18th century. This one jumped on my husbands shoulder and then proceeded to open his backpack and extract a banana (our lunch) and then ran off with it!

"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 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

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.
I have always loved the monkeys at the Zoo!
