Well, this squirrel monkey isn't exactly smiling. It just looks that way because she's enjoying a slice of zucchini. Yum!
Like most of us, the zoo where I volunteer is currently digging out, in the aftermath of Saturday's blizzard. The rain and warm temperatures we expect today might help a little.
Taken at Shree Guhyeshwori Temple. Kathmandu.
The temple name originates from the Sanskrit words Guhya (Secret) and Ishwari (Goddess)
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.

Little girl's eyes open wide
Two ways to go but you can't decide
Follows all rules, has no say
Ends up in somebody else's play
Close your eyes 'cause you just don't need them anyway
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Little boy sitting in his master's arms
Safe and protected from any harm
Wants to be a man, wants to branch out
But he's told not to ask questions or doubt
Close your mind, it's a book of instructions now
Lose as directed don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed.
Let's go!
Monkey see, monkey do
Just another animal in the zoo
Got four wall security
Never even have to read a recipe
But it's not exactly what you would call free
Lose as directed, don't take no chance
Don't hinge your life upon circumstance
Mystery and misery go hand in hand
So you better follow the master plan
Don't use your head, lose as directed
Lose as directed
You lose!
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.
Swayambhunath in Kathmandu is known as the Monkey Temple, for pretty obvious reasons. He seemed just as interested in me as I was in him. Perhaps he fancied a go with my camera
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.
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.
