I am very glad this monkey had a chain on, it look cute as hell until it tried to bite me.

"Spectacled Langur" monkeys seen on multiple days at a wild preserve close to small city of Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand. There are no fences and they're not in a zoo so these are basically wild monkeys, however they're living at a protected area of a forested mountain and the base at its bottom where they receive daily handouts, supplementing their leaf diet. Besides the name Spectacled Langur, they are also known as the "Dusky Leaf-eating Monkey", as they are a monkey that does eat vegetation. They are free to roam and I chanced upon some up in a tree about half kilometer across a field area, where they were eating the red flowers on this tree. They seem to come out of the forest daily to the feeding area and there are a few stations set up for that, plus a large bowl filled with water for drink. Perhaps that may not be good for wild monkeys but it does help organize it and the locals would otherwise just bring handouts anyway. Then they also nap in the trees right there.

Wonderful to observe and you can approach very close, and they seem to have a very calm nature, although I'm no monkey expert. Where I watched, hardly any aggressive behavior that I'd seen in the far more common Thai macaque monkeys; not much competing for food. Mothers do keep their young very close at hand, and I read that females may share baby duties and I did see babies being passed, whereas I saw the mothers keeping any other monkeys away.

As you can see in photos, baby Spectacled Langurs are born with bright orange hair which then turns grey, and light skin which turns black except for the face features.

MONKEY PARK, the MOVIE on YOU TUBE

Tenerife. Arona.

Described as the "biggest little zoo in the World", the Monkey Park Tenerife is an international breeding centre for endangered species of primates. Do not miss the chance on your holiday in Tenerife to visit The Monkey park. Its situated in Arona off the TF1 motorway exit 26 less than 5 minute drive from the centres of both Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas. It houses a great collection of monkeys, with many different species on display within the park. Where this zoo differs from others on Tenerife, and worldwide, is the fact that you can actually walk through the monkeys cages and feed them and all the animals you see in this zoo, and you will quickly see that each animal has its own favourite food. Sometimes some of the species get a lot bolder and will come and sit on your shoulder - especially the smaller monkeys.

In the park, you will see black leopards, a variety of birds, iguanas, toucans, lemurs, squirrel monkeys, marmossets and parrots.

The ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) is a large strepsirrhine primate and the most recognized lemur due to its long, black and white ringed tail. It belongs to Lemuridae, one of five lemur families, and is the only member of the Lemur genus. Like all lemurs it is endemic to the island of Madagascar. Known locally in Malagasy as maky (spelled maki in French) or hira, it inhabits gallery forests to spiny scrub in the southern regions of the island. It is omnivorous and the most terrestrial of lemurs. The animal is diurnal, being active exclusively in daylight hours.

Aapjes in alle soorten en maten kom je tegen in de Apenheul. Deze kleine - brutale - aapjes (de doodshoofdaapjes) waren het leukst!

Apeldoorn, Nederland

You see monkeys in all shapes and sizes in the Apenheul, a kind of zoo with only monkeys. Those little - cheeky - monkeys (the squirrel monkey) were the coolest of all.
