I spotted this at Baobeng Fiema monkey sancturay. Mona monkeys have always been protected at Baobeng-Fiema and are habituated to humans. They basically live together with black and white colobus in a plot of forest between the villages of Baobeng and Fiema, but often come into the villages.

Thanks Carol and asergio, even if it was a year ago. I had forgotten this was a sotd. This one must have went under the radar a bit and was before Noah really surged in popularity.
Congratulations, Dan, you did it... again. :-)
Congratulations Dan! Awesome monkey!
