Friday Photo: Monkey Business




I took this photo in 2003 on an outing to the Denver Zoo.  This is a Red Capped Mangabey Monkey.  These medium-sized African monkeys are named "mangabey," after the port city of Mangabe in Madagascar, from which they were first shipped to Europe.  He was a great subject and stood still and seemed to be intrigued with what I was doing.

I really would like to make a return trip to the Zoo with Christie to get some new shots, I know we would have a blast with our cameras and the animals!!
