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.

This species of monkey are trained to pick coconuts in Thailand which has become very controversial and resulted in many Thai coconut products being boycotted. Wildlife and animal protection groups claim the monkeys are abused and treated harshly. The Thai government and coconut producers claim otherwise.
During our visit to the Hogle Zoo, many of the monkey were off exhibit but we did watch a few jumping around and enjoying the autumn sunshine.

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!

PS: Screech once posed on National Geographic - the reason he is so concerned about his hair.
This is a family of Rhesus Macaque monkeys living at the famous Monkey temple (Swayambhunath ), Kathmandu ,Nepal. The numerous monkeys seemed to scrounge a living from the many tourists that visited this ,once marvellous , site. This hill-top temple was an essential place to visit ,when in Kathmandu . I was enchanted by its beauty & glorious spirituality when I was first there in 1996 ,returning twice to this magical place , since then. But most unfortunately the massive earthquake in April ,this year, caused very severe damage to this ancient site. . The pictures I saw of the awful devastation were absolutely heartbreaking .
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.
