Patas monkeys are apparently relatives of Vervet Monkeys but far more colourful.
They normally hide way, this large male the leader of the pack leaps from a tree to rejoin his family.
The head angle is not as good as I would have liked, but you know monkeys

Man, did you freeze the action. Great look at this monkey that I was not familiar with. Well done.

Wow, great dynamic pose indeed. Wish the tail had cleared the tree, but you did very well to capture the jump at all.
