One of India's numerous mischievous monkeys. I think this is a Common Langur monkey, but not sure...
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

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.

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

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

COMMON NAME:
DeBrazza’s monkey
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.
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.

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.
We went on a nice leisurely walk at Venus Loop this morning, and we got quite close to some tame long tailed/crab eating macaques.

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!

Ok so we are not going to talk about how badly my legs need to be waxed (that will be dealt with tomorrow) or how translucently white I am (it is the Irish in me and Ill be damned if I can fix that quickly)...
But we can talk about how wacky and unexpected my Friday was and how this Sunday is my last day of anxiety knitting... Youpiee. Now let's hope it all works out and I can get my arse out of bed and to the office before 10:30am tomorrow... :)
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.
