Today’s spotlight is one of the two monkeys listed in The Kruger National Park Map.
It is a Vervet monkey.

The second Old World monkey is the Chacma Baboon.

Both species can be spotted throughout Kruger. This one is photographed close to restcamp Skukuza in the southern part of the reserve.

Hi Annick

Belle et intéressante composition photographique bien réalisée pour ce petit singe tout mignon. Jolies couleurs, bonne netteté et bon point de vue.
Merci et au revoir...JP

Hi Annick,
Another flattering portrait from your Kruger Studio. Nice facial expression complimented by the soft light. I liked the way you have used the strobe to light the LHS hair :) TFS this beauty,
Regards, Anil

I maintain that there are hardly any people that can make a monkey look beautiful, nd you have that knack, Annick.What you touch becomes gold!
Respect!

Annick,

Great composition, awesome detail and eye contact. You'd think that this monkey is purposely posing for you. Very nicely done Annick. TFS.

How sweet she looks, and I love her fuzzy hair and her mauve/purple eye make-up. Those eyes look so sad too. It's a lovely composition Annick
