Also known as the crab-eating macaque, these monkeys have a long history of living alongside humans. In the past, they’ve been seen as both pests, and as sacred. They are now best known for their role in medical research. I met this young macaque just outside my bungalow while staying in Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo, Indonesia. My next post will be next Wednesday as I’ll be taking a long weekend to go visit family. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/250th of a second
