This is a Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkey, also called Kirk's Red Colobus, and Poison Monkey. It is an endangered species, surviving only on Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania. We saw this beauty in the Juzani forest, and he put up with me and my camera.

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.
REGION-South America Squirrel monkeys may be found in groups of up to 300 individuals, depending on the habitat
"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.
