The proboscis monkey or long-nosed monkey, known as the bekantan in Malay, is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey that is endemic to the south-east Asian island of Borneo. This species co-exists with the Bornean Orang-utan. The proboscis monkey is a large species, being one of the largest monkey species native to Asia. Only the Tibetan macaque and a few of the gray langurs can rival its size. Proboscis monkeys are known to make various vocalizations. When communicating the status of group, males will emit honks.
The mandrill is monkey recognized by its olive-colored fur and the colorful face and rump of males, a coloration that grows stronger with sexual maturity; females have duller colours. This coloration becomes more pronounced as the monkey becomes excited and is likely to be an example of sexual selection. The coloration on the rump is thought to enhance visibility in the thick vegetation of the rainforest and aids in group movement.
Le mandrill est un primate de la famille des cercopithécidés, apparenté au babouin et très proche du drill.

Found in the Tropical Forests of Central and South America the Squirrel Monkey prefers the middle canopy of rainforests, but can adapt to different kinds of forest.
Although not yet endangered, the Squirrel Monkey is among many rainforest animals threatened by deforestation . They are also captured for the pet trade and for medical research.
The monkeys are omnivores eating primarily fruits and insects. They live together in large groups of up to 500 members, and it is common to see them in mixed groups with other primates.

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.

A pig-tailed macaque alongside the Kinabatangan river in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. He's not really grumpy, just chewing on some fruit.
I am still trying to edit all my shots taken last weekend in London but thought I would upload this shot of a monkey taken at London Zoo - they are such cute little characters and could have spent a few hours photographing them!
There are also plenty of smaller animals like this little vervet monkey in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania.
