Snow Monkey/Japanese Macaque at Highland Wildlife Park. Had to shoot through one of those awful bloody perspex things but it worked out ok I think
Capuchin monkeys are tree-dwelling New World monkeys that live in central and southern America. These intelligent and clever monkeys use tools such as stones to crack open nuts, shellfish and crabs. Their abillity to be easily trained gave rise to their exploitation as organ grinder monkeys. They were named by explorers after their resemblance to an order of Catholic friars, the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin.
A family of monkeys was basking in the sun during the afternoon near the outskirts of Palampur (Himachal Pradesh, India).

I've spent the past four months editing and selecting images from our time on the European continent during our year-long journey to 23 countries around the world. Now it time to move on from the historic churches and landscapes of Europe to the wilderness and wildlife of Africa. For the next couple of months I'll be uploading and sharing images from time spent in South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana.
Con el calor, sigo pensando en las vacaciones, jeje.
Os dije que también estuvimos en LOROPARK ??

(perdón por el chiste, no he podido evitarlo, jajajaja)
One of the monkey found in one of the many Monkey Bays on Koh Phi Phi. As soon as they saw us they tossed away their bananas and went straight for our chips and mineral water. Apparently they could be dangerous, but nobody had told us that (not even our guide).
Mother & Child - Afi Mountains Nigeria
Drills (Mandrillus leucophaeus) are among Africa's most endangered mammals. Listed by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as the highest conservation priority of all African primates, they are found only in Nigeria's Cross River State and in one part of southwestern Cameroon. A sub-species is found in Equatorial Guinea.
Drills are under pressure from hunters looking for bushmeat and from loggers going further into the forests of the region.
Pandrillus, the NGO set up by Gadsby and Jenkins, rescues drills that are orphaned or that are being held in captivity. The idea is to raise the animals in natural-sized social groups for controlled captive breeding, acclimatise them to the rainforest and ultimately, Gadsby hopes soon, to release them.
One group of drills and four chimpanzees are kept at the drill ranch in Calabar, known to locals simply as The Monkey Place, to educate visiting school groups on the importance of conservation.
The vast majority of the drills, together with two dozen chimpanzees, are kept at the drill ranch on Afi mountain, a good six hours' drive north of Calabar and recently listed as a nature reserve, where Jenkins and Gadsby have opened a simple but beautifully laid-out eco-resort.
