After a hard morning foraging for food, one of the benefits of high rank is that you can get to choose a prime resting spot.
This male Vervet Monkey keeps an eye on me as he makes himself comfortable as he settles down to rest in the fork of a tree in our garden. The rest of the troop were also catching some R&R, with several indulging in grooming sessions while youngsters played discreetly during this quiet period of the day.

He does look totally languid, though he remains watchful as all wild animals must I guess.

Charming indeed. Looks like inspiration for me to crawl under the covers to imitate his thoroughly relaxed pose. 🙂

They have the right idea…slow down and take a break mid day.

I suppose it’s the fact that they look so very like human children that makes them so endearing.

I like that they wear their hearts on their sleeves, so to speak.
