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.

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.
We were at Nandi Hills, 30km north of Bangalore, when I was taking photos of some monkeys, and a few decided to act up. They climbed up on top of the car, and started reeking havok. The baby monkey, on the right, was chewing on the car antenna (that's why your radio ain't workin' buddy). It was pretty comical, and I took my first non-human family portrait. Nandi Hills was awesome, and I will be posting more irresistible monkey photos :D.
Hope you Enjoy :D

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.

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!
