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.

Early morning sightings on my last full day at the lodge.
This was one of a family group moving through the trees between my cabin (where I was) and the ocean. The light was poor but I was very pleased to see these so near. They rarely came close to people.
On our last morning in Corbett we went for a pre-breakfast drive. It was cold, as you can probably tell from the look of this Tarai Grey Langur.
I shot this one hand-held. It was a trap. His buddy came around and tried to steal my tripod that was several feet to my side...Instead of running for my tripod I sat and grabbed a few frames of that monkey too! Luckily as I approach it left the tripod alone!
Monkey family at Phra Prang Sam Yod (Temple of the Three-Spired Towers) in Lopburi province, Thailand.
The first monkey I encountered on my mad dash to the tigers which proved pointless as she was lurking in the back, hidden from sight. Really like how this turned out, he/she has an almost human expression. One thing I don't like is the somewhat evident fence in the picture. It's largely out of focus, but it's still somewhat visible. Definitely my favorite monkey picture I got.
