Squirrel Monkeys inhabit the rainforests of South America where they reside primarily in secondary forests at the intermediate level. They spend most of their time foraging in the trees for fruits, insects, nuts and seeds. Here they are also less likely to become targets for their major predators: eagles, snakes and seldom humans.

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 :)
The Vervet (or black-faced) monkeys of Tarangire. Scene (and food) stealing nuisances. If you look closely this ones face is covered in stolen food.
The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) or long-nosed monkey, known as the bekantan in Malay, is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey that is endemic to the south-east Asian island of Borneo. It belongs in the monotypic genus Nasalis, although the pig-tailed langur has traditionally also been included in this genus - a treatment still preferred by some.
The monkey also goes by the Malay name monyet belanda ("Dutch monkey"), or even orang belanda ("Dutchman"), as Indonesians remarked that the Dutch colonisers often had a similarly large belly and nose.
