I'm pretty sure this is the correct type of monkey, all the pictures I can find on the internet look correct. Normally when I'm at the zoo I'll write down the names of my subjects, I forgot on this trip though. Interesting fact: Patas Monkeys are the world’s fastest species of primate. When required, they can go from 0 to 33mph in three seconds. (I think thats faster than my car, by a lot)
