There were quite a few monkeys in the temple area. People feed them nuts and fruits
I trudged upto this fella and decided to do a portrait - closeup
He just ducked back when i took the camera close to his face ... instinctively i guess
And very soon he returned to his munching ways,
guess he sensed that the camera and me were harmless after all

Here's one from my South Africa trip in December. This is from the Plettenberg Bay area on the Garden Route. These are such common monkeys in Africa but I just loved this little guy with the light shining on him. Hope you enjoy visiting with him too ;-)
Hope you're having a great week! Thanks for all your visits!!

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.

Macaque Monkeys
Macaques live in many different habitats across the globe, making them the most widely distributed genus of nonhuman primates. Macaques (especially Macaca mulatta and M. fascicularis) are commonly used in research—most recently in AIDS research. Their coloration includes gray, brown or black fur. They tend to be heavily built and medium to large in stature. Males and females may differ in weight, body size and canine size.
