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.
This photo of a monkey was taken by one of our guides on a Real Africa Safari holiday. Look through the whole set of photos to see monkeys in various habitats, such as walking through grassland, grazing on trees and with their young. The photos were taken in various national parks in Kenya and Tanzania.

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 Jigokudani Monkey Park offers visitors the unique experience of seeing wild monkeys bathing in a natural hot spring. The park is inhabited by Japanese Macaques, which are also known as Snow Monkeys. It is located in the monkey's natural habitat, in the forests of the Jigokudani valley in Yamanouchi, not far from the onsen towns of Shibu and Yudanaka.
The park has one man-made pool around which the monkeys gather, located a few minutes' walk from the park entrance. Visitors will likely already encounter monkeys along the path to the pool. The monkeys live in large social groups, and it can be quite entertaining to watch their interactions. Accustomed to humans, the monkeys can be observed from very close and almost completely ignore their human guests. Naturally, it is prohibited to touch or feed the monkeys.
The park has a small information center with information mostly in Japanese. However, there is a small explanation of the alpha male system of the monkey troop in English, as well as portraits of the park's present and former alpha males, dating back dozens of years. There is a live camera beside the monkey pool that is accessible online.

Although the park is open all year round, the bathing monkeys are particularly photogenic when the area is covered in snow. There is usually snow in the region from December to March, and the best timing for a visit is January and February. Monkeys enter the bath around the year, but they sometimes need some encouragement to do so by park wardens throwing food into the pool, especially during the warmer seasons of the year.
Jigokudani, in which the park is located, means "hell valley" and is a common name for Japanese valleys with volcanic activity. Although its landscape is not as dramatic as some of Japan's other jigokudani valleys, Yamanouchi's Jigokudani does produce a few steaming hot springs. There is a ryokan called Korakukan in the valley, which visitors will pass along the way to the monkey park.

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.

Visiting the Jigokudani snow monkey park is one of my Japan Bucket list items and a must-do when visiting Nagano. Jigokudani, which means "hell valley, is so-called because of the sulphurous hot springs in the area. These hot springs are one of the few places where the snow monkeys come to keep warm in the depts of winter.
As we visited in springtime, there were no snow monkeys keeping themselves warm in the pond. But we did get to see baby snow monkeys!
The snow monkeys generally go around in troops, made up of the females, their young and the alpha male. The young snow monkeys can be seen playing and fighting with each other, snuggling/nursing from their mother, and in general they all groom each other.
The snow monkey parkis just a bus ride from Nagano..Go early to beat the crowds and you'll find your self enchanted by these Japanese macaques.
