African Wildlife: Photos of various animals in Africa: Vervet Monkey

This vervet monkey is high up in a tree overlooking a safari lodge in South Africa. The guides told us that the monkeys are so smart that they will get attention by fighting. The tourists run out to see what all the commotion is. While the tourists are photographing them, other monkeys run in behind them to steal fruit from the buffet table.
