Baby Patas Monkey photo taken near Mount Kenya in Kenya. Best viewed large size to see his eye detail.
The many species of monkey have varied relationships with humans. Some are kept as pets, others used as model organisms in laboratories or in space missions. They may be killed in monkey drives when they threatened agriculture, or used as service animals for the disabled.
In some areas, some species of monkey are considered agricultural pests, and can cause extensive damage to commercial and subsistence crops.[7] This can have important implications for the conservation of endangered species, which may be subject to persecution. In some instances farmers' perceptions of the damage may exceed the actual damage.[8] Monkeys that have become habituated to human presence in tourist locations may also be considered pests, attacking tourists.[9]
In religion and culture, the monkey often represents quick-wittedness and mischief.
Agile and lean, capuchin monkeys weigh only 3 - 9 pounds (1.36 - 4.9 kilograms). The fur of the capuchin monkey varies, but is most commonly seen with cream or light tan coloring around the face, neck and shoulders. The rest of its coat is dark brown. The hair is shorter and darker on the capuchin's back than on other parts of its body. The face of this cute monkey will range from white to pink in color. The tail is long, covered in hair and is partially able to wrap around branches.

OK, for those of you who follow me for my architecture photos (that is to say, about 98.3% of you), you may want to take the next day or say to step out, stretch your legs, or something. Because there may be a few more gratuituous shots of snow monkeys headed your way.
By the way, this was shot with a 35mm WIDE ANGLE lens. NOT a telephoto. Yes, I was that close. (And no, I don't recommend trying to photograph wildlife with a wide-angle lens, but it's all I brought with me on this trip).
