Coonoor yet again!! Monkeys at the roadside. These guys are quite aggressive and will not hesitate to steal from inside the car if you leave the door open even a bit.
On an Island near Langkawi.
She was not happy and tried to scare me when i touched her .. I would have been attacked really badly if i wouldn't have retreated slowly or had shown the animal any signs of being scared .... :P
These white faced capuchin monkeys visit the beaches inside Manuel Antonio National Park every day around noon. They are smart and fearless. They will snatch your beach bag or backpack if you are more than few feet away from it, check out the content, take what's edible, and if you're lucky they throw the rest back down.
Ava and Zoe.... Ava has grown bunches since any flickrites have seen her - right after her diagnosis of GSD liver disease last year. For those wondering, she is doing okay... but she has started to sleep all day again this past week, so a little prayer wouldn't hurt!
Rhesus macaque monkey in Corbett National Park.
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!

"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.
