Albino Monkey in the Middle

four-year-old boy
This Albino Monkey is getting ready to travel to a toy show in Atlanta, Georgia. His arms and fingers are posable. I've worked with a wired skeleton once before and I love the results. It really makes me feel like a toy maker.
You might remember seeing his cousin before.
This adorable monkey with clear, beautiful eyes was our companion at the camp where we were staying in South Africa. He was quite crafty in quickly grabbing food off the tables at breakfast and lunch!

Orangutans are the most arboreal of the great apes and spend most of their time in trees. Their hair is typically reddish-brown, instead of the brown or black hair typical of chimpanzees and gorillas.
Screech says – ugh!!! ...another Monday and it’s snowing again. It’s hard on us guys ...the snow frizzes my hair!
PS: Screech once posed on National Geographic - the reason he is so concerned about his hair.
Howler monkeys are considered one of the loudest land animals, with their vocalizations heard up to a few miles away, even in dense forest.
They have enlarged basihyal or hyoid bone which helps them make their loud vocalization like, howls, barks and grunts. (which have been said to sound like wind blowing through a tunnel)
In the wild they tend to make the most noise at dusk or early in the morning, howling in groups.
They are one of the largest primates in Central and South America, with a strong, stocky build and long tails which can grow almost to the same length as their bodies.
They live in Brazil
Habitat: Evergreen forests
Size: Up to 90cm tall
Weight: up to 12kg
Threats: Habitat loss; hunting.

Eind september 2009 zijn er drie brillangoeren in het Aziatische deel, de Rimba, van Burgers Zoo in Arnhem gearriveerd. Een schenking van een Israëlische dierentuin. Er zijn welgeteld drie zoo's in Europa die deze soort hebben. Een niet alledaagse aap dus.
Om de brillangoer (Trachypithecus obscurus) uit Bangladesh, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand goed te kunnen beschrijven, zonder een foto te laten zien, moet je van goede huize komen. Daarom hierna een beschrijving uit "ZieZoo", een tweemaandelijkse uitgave van Burgers Zoo voor relaties en jaarkaarthouders.
Het zijn slanke apen met nogal een variabele kleur. Het varieert van elk soort bruin tot grijs en zwart. Hun poten en staart zijn dan weer lichter van kleur. Maar wat natuurlijk het meest opvalt is hun brilletje. Ze hebben namelijk een witte ring rond hun ogen. Daarnaast zijn hun lippen wit en/of vleeskleurig. Een opvallende verschijning dus. Zeker gezien het feit dat hun hoofdhaar eruit ziet alsof ze net uit bed zijn gekomen.
De kop-romp-lengte is 42 tot 61 centimeter en de staartlengte is 50 tot 85 cm.
De maag van de brillangoer bestaat , net als bij koeien, uit meerdere afdelingen als aanpassing aan het eten van moeilijk verteerbaar plantaardig materiaal.

We saw lots of monkeys on our hike up/down Emei Shan mountain in Sichuan, China. Some were very agressive & mean. Others were troublemakers and would be doing things like pulling off the drying laundry at some of the monasteries. I have so many shots of monkeys from this hike, but I only have time to share one. So here's a cute little juvenile adjusting his position in the tree.

Characteristics: Black and white Colobus monkeys have a long, black fur coat with a white stripe running down the sides of their backs to their tails. Their bushy tails, which often exceeds the length of their bodies, are black at the base and gradually becomes white. These animals live in territorial groups of seven to 11 members, including a single male, females and their young. Babies are all white at birth. Females in the group remain for life, males leave as they near sexual maturity. Troops maintain a territory, within which they communicate vocally to mark their territory and warn of danger. Colobus rarely descend to the ground.
I found this mated pair of Monkey Grasshoppers, Eumastax equatoriana, along the main road to the lodge.
