taken at Xcaret eco park, which was next door to our hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico. This was one of the Spider Monkeys that lived on the island, which had lots of trees and tropical plants so I was pretty lucky to catch a glimpse of this fella as they didn't have to be visible to the public if they didn't want to. Summer 2016.
The Vervet Monkey is very playful. They are fun to watch jumping from tree to tree, and eating everything in sight. Look closely at these photos as there is a little baby here and there! Another name for the Vervet Monkey is the Green Monkey.
In the comments you can see another primate kissing metal. . . I don't quite understand this behavior. . .
This is a young howler monkey (Alouatta palliata palliata) I found in the trees near the beach in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. He was traveling with a group of other monkeys, presumably, his family. The golden mantled howler is found throughout much of Central America, including Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and possibly Panama.
Cute little monkey with big ears following my every step, just in case I have anything for him. Adorable little thing with those big ears and big round eyes.

These little guys move fast. This was about my best shot out of about 20 shots.
Nikon D800 with Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S.
Programmed Exposure and Auto-ISO chose 1/250th, f/5.6 and ISO250. EXIF shows the zoom is at 135mm - so the little guy is quite close really!
We saw quite a few of these little guys while in Tanzania. Mostly in the grass at the side of the road... They would pull out the good pieces of grass and eat them.
"Howler monkeys are among the largest of the New World monkeys and one of only a few nest-building monkeys. Fifteen species are currently recognised. These monkeys are native to South and Central American forests. Threats to howler monkeys include human predation, habitat destruction and being captured for captivity as pets or zoo animals. These monkeys are famous for their loud howls, which can travel three miles through dense rainforest." (from Wikipedia)

There are a lot of these monkeys around Dhikala and I'm ashamed to admit that I got a lot of amusement watching them trying to grab things from people who weren't paying enough attention. It's goes without saying that I would have been horrified if it had been me as I'm a bit scared of them!
