I had loaded my first picture on flickr on 17th December 2006,
I encountered a very endearing family of wild vervet monkeys who scampered around the gardens of Sun City, opening and eating sugar granules directly out of sachets from sugar bowls on the local cafe tables.

A Japanese Macaque snoozes blissfully in a geothermal hot pool in the mountains of Japan. Throughout the day these monkeys can be seen playing, grooming and relaxing in the steaming waters!

Daily Photo - Sleeping Snow Monkeys
This was not an easy place to find! (The geolocation is not exactly right.... but see below)
From JR Tokyo Station, take the JR Shinkansen to Nagano.
From JR Nagano Station, take the Nagano Dentetsu train to Yudanaka. From Yudanaka, take a bus or taxi to Kanbayashi Onsen. From there, it's about a 30 min walk to the Jigokudani Yaen-koen entrance.
I've always wanted to come see the wild snow monkeys... and so I just decided to make it happen this trip. Way up in the mountains of Japan, near Nagano, there is a troop of several dozen wild snow monkeys that roam all around a set of mountains. I didn't know if I'd be lucky enough to catch them or not... some say it is hard, and some people say it is easy. But you never really know! I set out to do my best and see what I could find.
Towards the very top of the cold mountain, there is a hot spring that churns out super-heated water that smells of sulfur. It fills this little pool and the monkeys come down during the day to lounge about, play, rest, eat, and all kinds of other wonderful things.
I spent two days on this mountainside. In the evening, I slept on the floor of a nearby ryokan, which is a traditional Japanese inn. There are about 30+ more stories about things that happened here, including eating crunchy crickets, but I will leave those to accompany future photos.
Another New Video Soon!
I just finished editing together a cool video interview I did with Alfie Goodrich here in Japan a few days ago. He has borrowed an awesome medium-format digital camera, and I asked him a bunch of questions about it. I think you will enjoy learning a little about the camera, about Alfie, and about his photography!

Golden monkey @ everland.korea
Upper one is elder brother and below is younger brother. I'm not sure they love each other.
Their parents were moved from China to Everland zoo, S.Korea in 2008. Since then, we
tried to breed them and we succeed it. ^^

The titis or titi monkeys (Callicebus) are a genus of small monkeys from northwestern South America. There are 30 species described. They live in the Amazon basin and adjacent regions of Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. Diurnal and arboreal, titis predominantly prefer dense forests near water. They easily jump from branch to branch, earning them their Dutch and German names, springaapjes and Springaffen (jumping monkeys).
Depending on species, titis have a head and body length of 23 - 46 cm, and a tail of 26 - 56 cm, both males and females weighing around 1 kg. The different titi species vary substantially in coloring, but resemble each other in most other physical ways. They have long, soft fur, and it is usually reddish, brownish, grayish or blackish, and in most species the underside is lighter or more rufescent than the upperside. Some species have contrasting blackish or whitish foreheads. The tail is always furry and is not prehensile.
They sleep at night, but also take a midday nap. Titis are territorial. They live in family groups that consist of parents and their offspring, about two to seven animals in total. The diet of the titis consists mainly of fruits, although they also eat leaves, flowers, insects, bird eggs and small vertebrates.
The species in the picture is a red titi monkey (Callicebus cupreus), too coppery titi monkey, from the western Amazonia (south of Rio Napo and Rio Solimões between Andes and Rio Purús) in Brazil, Peru and Bolivia.
Red titi monkeys have coarse fur covering most of the body, except for the face. They have a band of white fur across the crown of the head and red colored fur running along the sides of the cheeks, chest, and belly. The back is covered in darker brown fur while the inner arms and legs are orange or red.

De springaapjes (Callicebus), ook wel titi’s genoemd, is een geslacht van kleinere apen uit noordwestelijk Zuid-Amerika. Ze leven in de bomen in afgelegen gebieden diep in de regenwouden langs verschillende rivieren van het Amazonebekken oostelijk van de Andes in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay en Brazilië.
De afgelopen jaren is het aantal soorten van het geslacht zeer sterk toegenomen. Rond 1960 waren er slechts twee soorten springaapjes bekend. Inmiddels zijn er 30 soorten beschreven. Deze toename komt omdat de springaapjes nogal teruggetrokken in ondoordringbare regenwouden leven. Het aantal zal de komende jaren ongetwijfeld nog toenemen.
Het zijn vrij kleine apen, met een gewicht van circa 1 kg en een kop-romplengte van 23 tot 46 cm. De harige staart is 26 à 56 cm. De verschillende soorten springaapjes variëren sterk in kleur. Ze hebben een lange, zachte vacht, meestal roodachtig, bruin, grijs of zwartachtig. Bij de meeste soorten is de onderzijde wat lichter gekleurd dan de bovenkant. Sommige soorten hebben een contrasterend zwart- of witachtige voorhoofd. Het zijn echte klimmers en springers.
Ze slapen ’s nachts en doen in de middag vaak een dutje. Springaapjes zijn territoriaal. Ze leven in familiegroepen van twee tot zeven dieren, die bestaan uit ouders en hun nakomelingen. Het dieet van de springaapjes bestaat voornamelijk uit fruit, maar ze eten ook bladeren, bloemen, insecten, vogeleieren en kleine gewervelde dieren.
De soort op de foto is een rode springaap of rode titi (Callicebus cupreus) uit het westelijk Amazonegebied in Brazilië, Peru, en mogelijk Bolivia. Rode springapen hebben ruwe vacht over het grootste deel van het lichaam, behalve in het gezicht. Ze hebben een witte kruin. Zijkant gezicht, borst en buik zijn rood. De rug is donker bruin en de poten zijn oranje of rood.______________________________________________________________________________

Just got back from a trip to The Gambia
Patas monkey in the Abuko Nature Reserve in The Gambia.
We had a great guide - Dawda Barry (based in Kotu).
Lot's more to come
When I was researching our trip to Tasmania I read about a Monkey Island in the City Park in Launceston. I wasn't sure what to expect, but was delighted to see a display of Japanese Macaque monkeys.

The visit to Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire was well worth the time. Not cheap though at £17.00 per adult. Forget driving round the park though if you want a good close up picture or two and head for the Lodge and the Squirrel Monkeys or the Lemurs, you can get close and maybe if you are lucky they'll come over to you.
Taking a break from Landscapes for just a moment, we came across the Berber Apes in the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco. Some Apes are content to let you feed them. Some run around like mad. I split of from the group to find one that wouldn't be so uncomfortable around just one person. This little guy came so close and grabbed my camera by the lens hood. It was actually a challenge to get him back far enough to shoot him. Normally the problem is getting them to come to you. Regardless, this guys face had so much personality.
