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.

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.

I'M BACK! I've recently returned from an incredible 10 weeks in Peru. And I spent 2 months volunteering for a biological station as a field volunteer. I saw plenty of monkeys and took my camera on a few surveys.
