Also - here's the best shot I could get of a Bale Mountains monkey.

I'm a vertebrate paleontologist/herpetologist whose research camera is optimized for photographing objects that are (a) right in front of me and (b) not moving. I also work on animals that eat monkeys, not the monkeys themselves. This particular monkey chose not to remain still, and he/she was at some distance, so it's not a great shot. But it's at least monkey-shaped.
