Pictures of monkeys and the trunk monkey video
So here's the gist of today's posting.
Monkeys: Pictures of monkeys, talk about monkeys, and monkey business. (Well, maybe not monkey business exactly...)
When we get back, we will have some great pictures we took, and hopefully, (as one of our sponsors has requested), we'll be able to get some "pictures of cute monkeys").
As we don't have any of our own monkey pictures YET, we're sharing THESE pictures of monkeys with you instead.
When it comes to the monkeys we're going to see in Africa, it's most likely that we'll see baboons and spider monkeys. Apparently, baboons don't really mind at all having humans around, but spider monkeys are generally skittish. We hope we'll see a full range, but we'll be happy to see any monkeys that see fit to grace us with their presence!
And for the people who don't think that baboons are monkeys...well, we can have the debate later. (Actually, feel free to leave us your comments below.) But for now, here are some pictures of monkeys from all over.

 Apparently this is a pretty rare picture of an olive baboon. |
 Quit acting like Baboons! Never mind. You are baboons. |
 This guy says "What are you doing here?" |
 Hey, why the long face? This is a beautiful picture of an amazing animal. |

 This picture of a Capuchin monkey shows many Americans the monkey we generally think about having for a pet - popularized by shows like Friends. |
 This is a picture of a Tamarin monkey. Tamarins are rather cute monkeys, don't you think? (Oh, and stay tuned for cute monkey pictures.) |
 Don't mind me. I'm just hanging around! |
 More pictures of baby monkeys. |
 "Look out below! I'm a monkey, so I make up my own mind. I could decide to stop posing for this picture and let go at any time!" |
Another picture of a Capuchin monkey.

 This monkey looks a little frustrated, don't you think? |
 Apparently, this is a picture of monkeys in India. |
 Three monkeys are on a branch, and one decides to leap. How many monkeys are left? Three. Why? One just decided. He didn't actually do it yet. |
 "Your picture can't bother me. I'm deep in thought." |
| PICTURES OF MONKEYS Here are just some cute monkey pictures for the "awww" factor. |
