Here's another shot from Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. This one was feeding on some leaves near our chalets.

The wonderfully mischievous and inquisitive Vervets!  As soon as we left our camp in Lower Zambezi they would nip down from the surrounding trees and raid the open air bathroom.  We would return to find the lemon soap tablets covered in tiny teeth marks where they had been chewing, then they would throw them around in disgust once they realised that the appealing scent didn't mean they were good to eat! 8)

I think you've captured the essence of this little character so well Nate!

I like how you've framed this with the bushes, very appealing. The big huge eyes draw you right in, and the food going in the mouth completes the story.

Lovely behaviour shot. They are so sweet. We saw a lot of them in the Kruger.
