One of the places we visited on a recent holiday was "Monkeyland", near Plettenberg Bay, on the famous garden route of South Africa. You can follow the link for more info. I would like to show a few pictures of 2 of the primates we found there, with more to come later.
Vervet Monkey
A very common site in our region as they naturally occur here. Cute little monkeys, usually close to the roads in the trees, sometimes running across the road, making sure you are sharp and careful when you see them.
Squirrel Monkey
Squirrel monkeys are omnivores, eating primarily fruits and insects. Occasionally they also eat seeds, leaves, flowers, buds, nuts, eggs and small vertebrates (from monkeyland site).
The main reason for this post is to show 2 of my favorite pictures of that day. I wish I was a better photographer, but it is still 2 nice shots of this "cute" monkey.
Hope you enjoy the shots.
