Kiki is Monkey World's latest chimp arrival. She is 9 years old and was rescued from Lebanon where she had been living alone in a horrible cage.
Valerie was rescued from a Dutch laboratory. At the lab she was taken away from her mother at a year old and was then kept in a small cage with many other young chimps. Valerie is very friendly but can get jealous when others do not play with her. She had never been experimented upon.
Spider Monkeys are found in tropical forests of Central and South America, from southern Mexico to Brazil. Taken at Melbourne Zoo, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

We went up to the Nandi Hills which are 30km north of Bangalore, and I expected to see tons of scenery, take great landscape photos. I got some great landscape photos, but more than that, I got tons of the monkeys! There were hundreds of monkeys, and some would get as close to me as foot away. It was a pretty great experience..
Hope you enjoy the Photos, and check out the rest :D.
I heard the complaints about color pooling. I understood them. But I never really felt the pain until I knit these little buggers. Shown unblocked, after being worn in my sneakers all day. :-)

Fascinating facts
The squirrel monkeys are the New World monkeys of the genus Saimiri. They are the only genus in the subfamily Saimirinae.
Squirrel monkey fur is short and close, coloured olive at the shoulders and yellowish orange on its back and extremities. Their throat and the ears are white and their mouths are black. The upper part of their head is hairy. This black and white face gives them their German name, 'skull monkeys'.
Squirrel monkeys grow to 25 to 35 cm, plus a 35 to 42 cm tail. They weigh 750 to 1100g. Remarkably, the brain mass to body mass ratio for squirrel monkeys is 1:17, which gives them the largest brain, proportionately, of all the primates.
Unlike the other New World monkeys, their tail is not used for climbing, but as a kind of "balancing pole" and also as a tool. Their movements in the branches are extremely speedy.
They live together in multi-male/multi-female groups with up to 500 members. These large groups can, however, occasionally break into smaller troops.
They have a number of vocal calls, including warning sounds to protect themselves from large falcons, which are a natural threat to them. Their small body size also makes them susceptible to predators such as snakes and felids.
The mating of the squirrel monkeys is subject to seasonal influences. Females give birth to young during the rainy season, after a 150- to 170-day gestation.
