This young Vervet monkey became very curious with my presence as I was photographing him. It is very intriguing watching Vervet monkeys interact with one another as they are very active and playful animals.
This monkey was staring right down my lens, which was only 2 meters away. It started making weird noises and motions until I retreated, but first I grabbed a few captures.
Howler monkeys (genus Alouatta monotypic in subfamily Alouattinae) are among the largest of the New World monkeys and one of only a few nest-building monkeys. Fifteen species are currently recognised. Previously classified in the family Cebidae, they are now placed in the family Atelidae. These monkeys are native to South and Central American forests. Threats to howler monkeys include human predation, habitat destruction and being captured for captivity as pets or zoo animals. These monkeys are famous for their loud howls, which can travel three miles through dense rainforest.
Temple monkey showing off his wicked teeth. He's one of the macaques found all over the Buddhist temple on top of Sam Puoy Mountain (Phnom Sampov) in Battambang Provenance, Cambodia. Actually, I think he was just letting me know that he could hurt me bad if he wanted. I waited for him to leave before I made any movement.

As we cruised around the Kinabatangan river system one of the most frequent sightings were groups of proboscis monkeys in the trees along the river bank. They are strange creatures particularly the males with their odd faces
Proboscis monkeys are endemic to the jungles of Borneo, never straying far from the island’s rivers, coastal mangroves, and swamps. They are a highly arboreal species and will venture onto land only occasionally to search for food. They live in organized harem groups consisting of a dominant male and two to seven females and their offspring. Various groups often congregate near water at night to sleep.It may seem hard to believe, but male proboscis monkeys use their fleshy, pendulous noses to attract mates. Scientists think these outsize organs create an echo chamber that amplifies the monkey’s call, impressing females and intimidating rival males.Among the largest of Asia’s monkeys, male proboscis specimens can reach 50 pounds (23 kilograms), although females attain only about half that size Only males develop the namesake nose.
Over the last 40 years, proboscis monkey populations have plummeted. They are currently protected from hunting or capture in Borneo and are listed as an endangered species.

this tiny monkey (black-tufted marmoset) is about 20cm and had just taken a swipe at my lens... I know this is not great quality but still liked it, the right hand was used for the swipe....fortunately not even a scratch on the lens

The Angolan colobus monkeys at the San Diego Zoo have a new addition to their group. The large multigenerational family group, led by breeding male Milo, welcomed a cute baby boy this month—and because of a unique behavioral trait, every one of them will get a chance to help raise him. Over the next six months, the new arrival, which was born with a striking all-white coat, will be seen being carried and cared for by different members of the group.

Watching the snow monkeys at the Jigokudani monkey park near Nagano was fascinating. They seem so human, often lost in thought - I guess that's a big part of their appeal.
We took our indoor cat Mu outdoors to the park and had him play on the monkey bars at the playground.
I had a play today with Blender to try to make a cool image of this cute little monkey.
This render has been 100% made in Blender using the compositor to add the final touch.
