This cute squirrel monkey is at Busch Gardens in Tampa, and is one of our routine stops at the park. I can watch these guys for hours. And if you look closely enough, you can see a little mustache on this one.
Not a great photo, way too blown out with an overly busy background, but I had to post it. I noticed the finger only while going through pictures. At least he didn't fling poo at me.
When we went to Ubud we made sure to go in the Sacred Monkey Sanctuary and it was well worth it. The monkeys are pretty content with people walking close to them, taking photos and generally being in their space, but most of all they want food.
My friend and I weren't game to buy bananas for these little buggers because we didn't want them too close. At the time we had heard rumors of rabies being around and we weren't vaccinated so we chose against it. I think we would have been safe but a girl in front of us took a bite so better safe than sorry.
On the island Penang, Malaysia, I made a day trip to the monkey beach expecting to see some monkeys. And yes, the name of the beach is not lying. There were some monkeys at the beach waiting for tourists, to steal some food from them :)
Or rather Crepe Myrtle Puzzle. This was a long row of tree crepes in Austin, where they don't freeze back. I'd say they were 25 feet tall or so.
I knew that looking through their trunks had to be a picture...not sure that I made it work very well though.
Vervets are medium-sized monkeys weighing between 9 and 12 lbs. They are very fast and agile as are all monkeys. In a blink of the eye, they can expertly steal food off the plates of humans who, befuddled, then look around and ask, "what happened to my piece of toast?" While tourists can see this monkey behavior as humorous-I for one was amazed by their speed, agility and detective work- some farmers are not amused, see these monkeys as pests and then do their best to kill them....This photo was taken in the Satara area of Kruger National Park, province of Mpumalanga, South Africa.
You might have to back up a bit to get over the focus issues on this one.
We need to take a Pixel Peeper Poll.
I know this image is OOF, whether it's from camera shake, monkey shake, bad focusing, chicken wire fencing...If you pull your nose back from the screen as though you were looking at a photo on the wall, this is not a horrible shot. If you are a Pixel Peeper (like I've been) this shot is good only for the trash bin.
Are YOU a Pixel Peeper?
Is there a recovery group, PPA (Pixel Peepers Anonymous)?

Quite honestly I really did not pay much attention to what type of monkey this was. It was fun just watching them. They were some of the few active animals (of course we got to the zoo around 1:30 in the afternoon)
The name “colobus” is derived from the Greek word for “mutilated,” because unlike other monkeys, colobus monkeys do not have thumbs. Their beautiful black fur strongly contrasts with the long white mantle, whiskers and beard around the face and the bushy white tail. The Eastern black-and-white is distinguishable by a U-shaped cape of white hair running from the shoulders to lower back, whereas the Angolan black-and-white has white hairs flaring out only at the shoulders.
The monkeys within the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal are commonly called long-tailed macaques. Their scientific name is Macaca fascicuiaris. Macaques are found throughout Southeast Asia and many species of macaques live successfully in areas that are heavily utilized by humans. On Bali, there are Balinese long-tailed macaque troops (populations) that live in areas where they have little to no contact with humans and troops that come into contact with humans on a regular basis. However, despite the fact that many species of macaques thrive in areas that are heavily utilized by humans, there is evidence that the viability of Balinese long-tailed macaques (the ability of macaques to continue to thrive) may be dependent upon the conservation of Bali's forested areas.
