Where the hell did he come from ?

Tufted gray langur (Semnopithecus priam)


This guy just popped up at a car park beside my workplace this morning. Spectators all wondered how he got there, this species is not naturally found around Kurunegala. He seemed pretty tamed too, and willingly accepted bananas and stuff from people. He was not around by the noon.

What's With The Solemn Face?

A Toque Macaque  Monkey/Macaca sinica I photographed a little while ago.  These ones I see in Krurnegala belong to the subspecies  Macaca sinica aurifrons  and are generally called Dusky Toque Monkey. Posted for Camera Critters.

A Small Strech Of Forest In The Middle Of The City Of Kurunegala -2, Toque Macaque Monkeys This Time
































Toque Macaque  monkey (Macaca sinica ) Aka Rilawa is endemic to Sri Lanka. I saw this small troop near the top of Ethugala Rock. It is almost impossible to pass a troop of them without  bribing them with food. These dare devils snatch anything edible from the hands of the travelers. It's a common occurrence at every travel destination with these monkeys. I feel  very uneasy thinking what kinds of food find their way in to these monkey's systems, as travelers happen to carry all kinds of food with them. It must have been people who gave the macaques a taste of picnic snacks by throwing tidbits at them. 

You will find some very interesting facts about these monkeys here, here, and here, they are world famous!
