Notes:

I was walking through our camp at Kruger National Park, South Africa when I spotted this little fellow to my left. It was fun watching the monkeys enjoy the fruit.

A long overdue Spotting of the Day! Congratulations bluevizion! "The Vervet Monkey is highly social, living in groups of up to 72. They use distinct alarm calls to warn of different types of predators, with the young appearing to have an innate ability to make these calls."

Thanks for the comments! He stole my heart as well :) I was watching them for over 15 min., at first the little vervet seemed quite astonished but they quickly got used to and where just ignoring me.
