Dscheladas sind reine Bodenbewohner, zum Schlafen ziehen sie sich in Felsspalten oder enge Schluchten zurück, den Tag verbringen sie mit der Nahrungssuche auf den ebenen Gebieten.

Also called Chopsticks Hill or Monkey Mountain this headland is well known for being populated by a large number of monkeys around the temple on top. This was my ultimate destination for the day. Note the 20 metres high golden Buddha

I take pictures because I like it, not because I am good at it.
The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.

MY B&W photography :

The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa. The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries. These mostly herbivorous monkeys have black faces and grey body hair color, ranging in length from about 50 centimetres (20 in) for males to about 40 centimetres (16 in) for females.
In addition to very interesting behavioral research on natural populations, vervet monkeys serve as a nonhuman primate model for understanding genetic and social behaviors of humans. They have been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use. Vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males changing groups at the time of sexual maturity. The most significant studies done on vervet monkeys involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition and particular predator sightings.
The green monkeys found in Barbados originally came from Senegal and the Gambia in West Africa approximately 350 years ago. About 75 generations have occurred since these monkeys arrived in Barbados and, as a result of environmental differences and evolution, the Barbados monkeys today have different characteristics than those in West Africa.
The monkeys are found mainly in the parishes of St.John, St.Joseph, St.Andrew and St.Thomas, where much natural vegetation and woodlands still exist. However, monkeys can also be seen traveling through hotel grounds in St.Peter and St.James.
Vervet monkeys, also known as Chlorocebus pygerythrus, are medium-sized primates that live in Africa. They are native to the Old World and are the most widespread monkey on the continent. Vervets are found throughout Southern Africa, as well as some eastern countries, from Senegal to Ethiopia and south to South Africa.
