This Tiny monkey was right in this beam of light. I loved the feel it gave the little guy. I have now discovered that this is not a monkey at all, but actually a Cotton-top Tamarin. Shot during a wonderful day at the Birmingham Zoo with Duncan (nailbender).
At the monkey sanctuary on Miyajima, the monkeys are free to go wherever, so you can get right up close to them. There were eight baby monkeys there when we visited.
This juvenile has sadly lost its right hand at some time.
These monkeys were common in the park and were clearly used to people.
Though this is officially a national park, it is really more for swimming etc. than for the animals. It is very crowded with day trippers and is apparently one of the two most visited such areas in the country - but few go to see the animals.

Texte et mise en scène Carole Thibaut
Monkey Money met en scène une société fantasmagorique, coupée en deux par un mur qui sépare le monde des riches et le monde des pauvres. Ces mondes, miroirs inversés l’un de l’autre jusqu’aux personnages qui les peuplent, se font face. Du Call center marocain à la forêt des contes, des festivités de la « haute » aux bas-fonds des quartiers troubles, la pièce nous entraîne dans une traversée hallucinatoire d’une société ultralibérale devenue folle, vaste marché humain qui dévore ses propres enfants.
Ce projet d’écriture est né d’une immersion dans une entreprise de ventes de crédits en 2012. À la suite de cette expérience, Carole Thibaut s’est penchée sur les questions du capitalisme, du libéralisme et de la crise économique actuelle. Pour cela, elle s’est immergée dans un open space où elle a mené une série d’entretiens avec des salariés de grandes entreprises, avant d’aborder l’écriture de la pièce.
Autrice, metteuse en scène et comédienne, militante engagée à l’association H/F, elle place les écritures au cœur de sa démarche artistique.

Mandrills are the largest monkey species. Check out more info about these colorful primates here:
gray langur monkey with infant, like most monkeys the langurs have a strong group relationship, the alpha male, however, only usually holds his position for a short time - usually around 18 months

Another shot. This monkey has a bit of the appearance of a depressed old man. I understand that it is this species that has served as the organ grinder at street fairs.
Don't let that sweet and innocent face fool you! Just a moment before he was throwing pieces of coconut at innocent passerbyers
Bolivian Squirrel Monkey’s have light brown/yellow fur with a white face and a dark black patch on the crown of its head. Its tail is longer than its head and body, reaching approximately 38cm in length. Their small size however makes them a popular target for predators. They can live up to 30 years old in captivity.
FUN FACT: A group of Bolivian Squirrel Monkeys can be called a troop, barrel, tribe or cartload.

A male with his harem.
A distinctive trait of this monkey is the male's large protruding nose, from which it takes its name. The big nose is thought to be used in mating and is a characteristic of the males, reaching up to 7 inches in length. The females also have big noses compared to other monkey species, but not as big as the males. Besides attracting mates, the nose serves as a resonating chamber and works by amplifying their warning calls. When the animal becomes agitated its nose swells with blood, making warning calls louder and more intense.
The Proboscis monkey can be found in island of Borneo in South-east Asia but they are not even found throughout all of Borneo. Due to ongoing habitat loss and hunting in some areas, only about 7000 are known to still exist in the wild. The Proboscis Monkey is evaluated as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. [Wikipedia]
Taken in the Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Reserve, one of the few places in the world where you can still see a proboscis monkey in the wild.
