Morning at the zoo - Singapore - February 2015

They were braver than they should be. We as people ruin it when we give them an unnatural food source and they loose their fear. They didn't get close enough to touch, but it is obvious that they should have stayed father away then they did. This was brought in as close as I could. Sorry about the bumpiness. It is hard to film holding the camera over your head and watch them!

Chocolate and banana with cute faces

Monkey Fun

while on a nature walk on an island of costa rica we spotted these curious fellows wandering around. they were so tame, not afraid of humans at all, actually quite friendly but a tad agressive at times.

Squirrel Monkey Blackpool Zoo

This naughty monkey climbed onto our truck and tried to steal our chocolate when we stopped for a refreshment break!

This wild monkey was roaming outside the Botanical Gardens. There were quite a few around and they are not that big, but when this cheeky one looked at me like that, I actually thought he was going to jump on me and maybe pull my hair off. Wouldn't have been the first time though!

Smaller monkey was stealing grass from the bigger monkey. A funny exchange then occurred, which looked like the older monkey chewing out the younger one and giving him a good talking to, and then the younger one appeared to give the older one a hug - perhaps a dad saying "show that you are grateful, you punk!"

Are you sticking your tongue out at me?

Wild Monkeys near Habarana in Sri Lanka

I went hiking in Dakeng, near Taichung, Taiwan. We saw four monkeys just walking across the path and hanging out in the trees. It let me get close enough to touch it if I had the guts.
