These cute little guys are one example, where there used to be about 10 monkeys scampering around, and there only appear to be 2 in this exhibit now (they do have some more I believe in a separate area). It looks a bit vacant and they're probably lonely and don't feel they have enough eyes to spot predators (not that there *are* any in the enclosure).
Cercopithecus wolfi
Guenons the largest group of African primates, are very colorful. Their color is used in intraspecific communication for recognizing individuals, species, and potential mates. Wolf's Mona Monkey is dark grey with a red "saddle" on its back. The pelage depends on the subspecies. C. wolfi wolfi has a chestnut-colored patch on the middle of its back. Its arms are black and legs are red. It has a yellow underside, occasionally with an orange stripe down its flanks. Its cheek whiskers are yellow, speckled with black, and its ear tufts are red. C. wolfi elegans has a back which is gradually browner towards the rump. Its forearms are black, and its upper arms have a pale speckling.[4] Its legs are light gray, while its underside is white. Its cheek whiskers are white, with dark speckling that increases near the base. Its ear tufts are white. The male's scrotum is blue. Wolf's Mona Monkey is also sexually dimorphic in size. Males weigh, on average, almost twice as much as females (4.5 kg and 2.5 kg respectively). Its small size makes it susceptible to predators, especially the Crowned Eagle and the Leopard.

Month off in Thailand and Cambodia, this monkey liked seeing his reflection in the lens of my camera.

Agile and lean, capuchin monkeys weigh only 3 - 9 pounds (1.36 - 4.9 kilograms). The fur of the capuchin monkey varies, but is most commonly seen with cream or light tan coloring around the face, neck and shoulders. The rest of its coat is dark brown. The hair is shorter and darker on the capuchin's back than on other parts of its body. The face of this cute monkey will range from white to pink in color. The tail is long, covered in hair and is partially able to wrap around branches.
The bus stopped and on the side of the road was a small group of monkeys being coaxed out of the trees by an old lady. Someone gave the monkeys some biscuits
