The silvered leaf monkey, also known as the silvery lutung or the silvery langur, is an Old World monkey. They inhabit mangrove swamps and coastal forest regions, and generally avoids travelling far from coasts or rivers. Usually found in Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo, these two live in Jungle World at the Bronx Zoo.
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.

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.
