This isn't the greatest photo, but I had to post it because I thought it was so funny. The expression on the one monkeys face just says " hey dude, this is my photo shoot"
I took this picture in Manuel Antonio, Quepos Costa Rica.

He (or she) is a baby Black-faced Vervet monkey. These guys hung out all over the lodge.
Samburu, Kenya, July 2005
I'm not sure I've ever seen monkeys in the wild, so I was initially quite fascinated and excited about seeing these guys. However, I think they didn't like that I was taking photographs of them as they soon became agitated, with scurrying up right behind me. At that point, I knew it was becoming a situation of potential danger, so I just very slowly walked away and thankfully, they didn't attack me.
This was probably the scariest moment I've experienced in the past five to ten years and I felt like I was legitimately in danger.
