Sylvias Loc: North Yorkshire England
 
Seventeen years ago on my first visit to India looking for tigers, whilst travelling back slowly to camp early evening, this monkey jumped on the bonnet of the vehicle and closed it's eyes! I took the shot with a little point and shoot film camera, I have scanned it, not good quality but would like to share :D It really was very close.

I need to sleep
I need to sleep...

A great moment, nicely captured. I suppose having a monkey on the bonnet is better than one on your back!

It's funny you should say that !! Whilst sat having dinner around the campfire on a table of 10 people, I was on the end. A cold hand was felt on my shoulder and a monkey used me to steady itself to jump on the table, grab fruit from the bowl and off in a flash! Everyone scattered but I just sat there, but then that is me :lol: If it had bitten me I think I would have moved. :-D thank you for looking and your comments, very much appreciate them.
