Watching the snow monkeys at the Jigokudani monkey park near Nagano was fascinating. They seem so human, often lost in thought - I guess that's a big part of their appeal.

We took our indoor cat Mu outdoors to the park and had him play on the monkey bars at the playground.

Taken with the NikonD7100 + Nikon 18-105mm.

I had a play today with Blender to try to make a cool image of this cute little monkey.

 

This render has been 100% made in Blender using the compositor to add the final touch.

 

You can check the 3D model built by UmbraManis on Mecabricks.

Bottoms up ... :)

A Very Handsome Guy...

I encountered a very endearing family of wild vervet monkeys who scampered around the gardens of Sun City, opening and eating sugar granules directly out of sachets from sugar bowls on the local cafe tables.

Golden monkey @ everland.korea

 

Upper one is elder brother and below is younger brother. I'm not sure they love each other.

Their parents were moved from China to Everland zoo, S.Korea in 2008. Since then, we

tried to breed them and we succeed it. ^^

  

The titis or titi monkeys (Callicebus) are a genus of small monkeys from northwestern South America. There are 30 species described. They live in the Amazon basin and adjacent regions of Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. Diurnal and arboreal, titis predominantly prefer dense forests near water. They easily jump from branch to branch, earning them their Dutch and German names, springaapjes and Springaffen (jumping monkeys).

Depending on species, titis have a head and body length of 23 - 46 cm, and a tail of 26 - 56 cm, both males and females weighing around 1 kg. The different titi species vary substantially in coloring, but resemble each other in most other physical ways. They have long, soft fur, and it is usually reddish, brownish, grayish or blackish, and in most species the underside is lighter or more rufescent than the upperside. Some species have contrasting blackish or whitish foreheads. The tail is always furry and is not prehensile.

They sleep at night, but also take a midday nap. Titis are territorial. They live in family groups that consist of parents and their offspring, about two to seven animals in total. The diet of the titis consists mainly of fruits, although they also eat leaves, flowers, insects, bird eggs and small vertebrates.

 

The species in the picture is a red titi monkey (Callicebus cupreus), too coppery titi monkey, from the western Amazonia (south of Rio Napo and Rio Solimões between Andes and Rio Purús) in Brazil, Peru and Bolivia.

Red titi monkeys have coarse fur covering most of the body, except for the face. They have a band of white fur across the crown of the head and red colored fur running along the sides of the cheeks, chest, and belly. The back is covered in darker brown fur while the inner arms and legs are orange or red.

De springaapjes (Callicebus), ook wel titi’s genoemd, is een geslacht van kleinere apen uit noordwestelijk Zuid-Amerika. Ze leven in de bomen in afgelegen gebieden diep in de regenwouden langs verschillende rivieren van het Amazonebekken oostelijk van de Andes in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay en Brazilië.

De afgelopen jaren is het aantal soorten van het geslacht zeer sterk toegenomen. Rond 1960 waren er slechts twee soorten springaapjes bekend. Inmiddels zijn er 30 soorten beschreven. Deze toename komt omdat de springaapjes nogal teruggetrokken in ondoordringbare regenwouden leven. Het aantal zal de komende jaren ongetwijfeld nog toenemen.

Het zijn vrij kleine apen, met een gewicht van circa 1 kg en een kop-romplengte van 23 tot 46 cm. De harige staart is 26 à 56 cm. De verschillende soorten springaapjes variëren sterk in kleur. Ze hebben een lange, zachte vacht, meestal roodachtig, bruin, grijs of zwartachtig. Bij de meeste soorten is de onderzijde wat lichter gekleurd dan de bovenkant. Sommige soorten hebben een contrasterend zwart- of witachtige voorhoofd. Het zijn echte klimmers en springers.

Ze slapen ’s nachts en doen in de middag vaak een dutje. Springaapjes zijn territoriaal. Ze leven in familiegroepen van twee tot zeven dieren, die bestaan uit ouders en hun nakomelingen. Het dieet van de springaapjes bestaat voornamelijk uit fruit, maar ze eten ook bladeren, bloemen, insecten, vogeleieren en kleine gewervelde dieren.

 

De soort op de foto is een rode springaap of rode titi (Callicebus cupreus) uit het westelijk Amazonegebied in Brazilië, Peru, en mogelijk Bolivia. Rode springapen hebben ruwe vacht over het grootste deel van het lichaam, behalve in het gezicht. Ze hebben een witte kruin. Zijkant gezicht, borst en buik zijn rood. De rug is donker bruin en de poten zijn oranje of rood.______________________________________________________________________________
