I felt so lucky when a Vervet Monkey family presented itself on a patch of grass, by the sea in Mombasa. I had been to Nairobi, Tsavo and Mombasa to take photos of the wildlife there. This was an extra suprise as I was not expecting them here. I spent a long time taking photos of them, it was all too tempting to get closer but I knew I needed to be invisible for them to play, feel safe and natural.
I remember well that people just walked past them disinterested as if they was not there, that made me feel sad, we should be looking, learning and admiring them.

Conservation status is least concern.
Gelada Monkeys are large Monkeys, and the last surviving species of ancient grazing primates. There are usually 1-2 males in a multi-level society.
When I took this image they were very lively, the females were racing around, looking aggressive and territorial, this male was just sat taking everything in his stride and didn't seem to feel the need to get involved in the disputes at that moment.

A Lemur is from the Island of Madagascar, they live in trees and are nocturnal. Lemurs actually evolved from Monkeys and Apes, there are one hundred species with the females being dominant. Just like every other primate, Lemurs have fingers, toes and nails.
The Lemurs were so friendly they walk in front of you and swing around in the trees above your head, sending you dizzy.
