Monkey Business

There's a place in Ubud called the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, and besides millions of monkeys, there is also a beautiful temple, monkey graveyard, and huge beautiful banyan trees all in a jungle setting. You can check out the scenery pictures when I post them on Facebook, this post is just about the monkeys.

I don't know why I'm so fascinated by them and take so many pictures of them, there's literally monkeys in pretty much every country that I've been to. Nevertheless, I always find ones being so cute or doing something so out of the ordinary that I'm compelled to take pictures.

Some of them were just so precious:


Then I saw the strangest thing, and instead of walking away, I was so fascinated that I stayed and watch. Of all the animal sex I've witnessed, never have I seen them doing anything but doggie style. This is seriously like having human sex:

Finally, I was walking towards the back exit when I kept hearing what sounded like someone chopping down trees. I walked towards where it was coming from and I saw a few people standing there with cameras. As I approached I witnessed the most amazing sight - literally 20 monkeys were flinging themselves off trees over a pond into the water and swimming around. The pictures don't do it justice cause it all happened so quickly. Hopefully the video I took came out better but in the meantime enjoy :
