Growling male macaque
THAI10D-56
November 24, 2010
Hiking across Khao Yai National Park, in Thailand, last November. As we approached the troupe of northern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca leonina), this brightly colored male thought our group was too close to the troupe's females and young, and was very vocal in his opposition to our presence. His had a beautiful multicolored face with something looking like mascara highlighting the eyes and you can see those sharp canines giving us fair warning. We nabbed a few shots, and steered clear of the group. Enjoy.
