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
One memorable animal for many visitors to India is the common monkey. You will find them in many tourist spots. They are pretty crafty, audacious and nimble. You don't have to feed them. They manage well on their own. While they don't normally harm humans, they do snatch food, especially from children, with surprising boldness.
Curiously they don't take food from the shopkeepers! The vendor has nice guavas piled up in the cart and the monkeys don't touch. You pick up three or four and they descend like superman and make off with it. It is too funny.
Tip for tourists: they are usually wary of long sticks and stay away from people who carry them. Perhaps that is what shopkeepers use to train them!
The one in the photo is the boss monkey and he has the right to eat first. There five or six hovering around him but they dare not touch the food till he has finished.

A family of monkeys was basking in the sun during the afternoon near the outskirts of Palampur (Himachal Pradesh, India).
Taken on a visit to London Zoo - these monkeys were so cute but didn't stop still long so getting a good crisp shot was quite a challenge - not as sharp as I would like though.
One of the many macaques at the Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, tucking into a snack bar found in the bin!
One of the monkeys of the Cotswold Wildlife Park with a rope in the hand. I don't remember the species anymore, can someone help me?
This is a purple-faced langur, thanks gentle lemur for the ID! :)
