Monkey Business

Towards the end of last year I "snapped" the following 2 "series" of photographs:



This cute little monkey, looking expectantly at its mother (for "direction"?) caught my attention & I "zoomed in" ...






... since its mother didn't respond (as expected?), the little monkey (typically in a childlike fashion?) was easily distracted ...






... in an experimental "mood" (also like a human toddler?) the little monkey started to nibble on what it had "discovered" ...





... the mother had no time for this "monkey business" & decided to move on, so the little one had no choice but to "alight" - so it wouldn't be left behind.





During another occassion I saw this tiny monkey (with its human-like expression?) clinging to its mother in another, monkey-like fashion ...






... when the mother sat down, the little one's attention centred on a nearing juvenile ...




... the juvenile (in a typical fashion?) reacted by "showing" the little one who is "the boss", which it only "dared" to do because the mother wasn't looking/was distracted - or otherwise ...??
