During a visit to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. You can enter an enclosure with these guys in. I took the video camera, and one of these fellas made a grab for it! Cheeky Monkeys!

    That critter in the last image was following the instructions perfectly :)
    This is a fun set of images. I think my favourite is the first one, though. That monkey appears to be contemplating mischief...

    Thanks Lindiwe.

    That monkey (or his friend) nearly swiped my video camera!
