This is the Azara’s night monkey, enjoying a mango, photographed one night in the Pampas region of Bolivia. After a few bites, he took his meal and disappeared into the forest. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, two Nikon SB-800 flash units.

He looks like he is eating a toasted marshmallow. Cool picture.
I can see that. A big toasted marshmallow.
Really interesting critter. I don’t see how you could have posed this animal better, if you could have posed it!
Thanks Sue. I was the beneficiary of that mango that he didn’t want to give up.
Look at those scheming eyes and alien fingers! Cool composition as always!
Thanks Angelina. I like the fingers.

Maybe he thought you looked hungry too—and sharing is very overrated! Great shot!
Oh yeah, he wasn’t about to share that mango with anyone.
