Again, With The Monkeys

This is the first monkey I have seen that really doesn't look happy to BE a monkey. He just has unrealistic expectations of himself. This one looks to be a 'thinker' - never a good thing for a monkey to be.

Being able to wipe your butt with your feet would be awesome to you and me but Leaf Monkeys just don't appreciate all the gifts the gods have given them. Why is my week full of ungrateful and selfish primates? These things tend to go in cycles.


With unmistakable coloring and a philosophical, at times almost melancholy expression, the Thomas’s leaf monkey (Presbytis thomasi) is one of Asia’s little-known primates. Thomas’s leaf monkey (also known as Thomas’s langur) is found only on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The monkeys roam forests eating fruits and flowers, and sometimes snails, mushrooms, and coconut stalks. Little is known about species compared to many of the world’s other primates.
