All across Barbados you will find this mischievous little creature, including in the gullies that run across the island and even in peoples gardens!
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.
You may observe an infant monkey being carried by its mother, with the infant clinging to the mothers fur on her stomach and chest and her protective arm around him. As the infant matures and becomes more independent, he will stray from his mother, being carried only when the troop moves or when danger threatens.
Infants often appear blue in colour, as they have little fur when they are born. However, as they mature, they develop a thick fur that is brownish-grey in colour with specks of yellow and olive green. In some lights, the fur has an overall green appearance ... hence the name the "Green Monkey".

Going through some oldies and found this one.
These guys are Monkey and Panda. They are my constant traveling companions and have special pouches sewn into my rucksack in which they accompany me. Here they are at the Great Wall. Although they were a little tired as they were only halfway back to the bottom from the summit in the distance behind them, they were kind enough to stop and pose for this shot...

I shot this in Kuala Lumper at the Batu Caves. There are so many Monkeys walking around, and this little guy was sitting on one of the posts just taking it all in.
