Monkey Business


Since I've returned from the last tour with quite a "collection" of photos depicting (Vervet) monkeys, I've decided to share some of them on this blog today.



No, these 3 do NOT represent the 3 "wise" monkeys (see, hear OR speak no evil) but instead are 3 cute young monkeys "lining up".






The same 3 monkeys, just "posing" differently - I thought they looked so cute that they "deserve" to be seen from another angle/persepective.






Is this monkey trying to copy what it observed humans do, i.e. "using" a straw??






And then there were these monkeys ........



........ amongst which were a female & her apparently "shy" newborn .........







......... which the female appeared to "convince" that the gawking human photographer wasn't a threat .......




........ just there to admire & record whatever was "on offer".......





....... which another monkey youngster, sitting higher up in a tree, didn't appear to believe - yet it also revealed no signs of possibly feeling threatened in any way.
