The monkey looks pretty intelligent, probably because of your stable composition.

Thank you everyone.  Vervet monkey appears to be the correct id.  This is from my 2013 trip to South Africa.  Elsa provided invaluable help in putting the trip together.  She has since gone pro in the travel business.

I would love to return to CT and perhaps head North this time.
