While exploring a tributary of the Amazon, we came across a troop of Ecuadorian squirrel monkeys crossing from one side of a river to the other. Single file, they took turns launching themselves from a higher branch on one side, to a lower branch on the other. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1000, f/5.6 at 1/1250th of a second.

What a great shot, Sean!!!!
Thanks Sue. Always good to get some action shots.
I would have loved seeing them all crossing in a single file. Lucky you!
Amazing picture, love the background. Have to admit, I would love to see them all crossing as well. 🙂
Thanks Paul. Hope all is well.
How can you call this the Photo of the Day when you shot it weeks ago? I won’t abide last month’s squirrel monkey content.
I have seen them doing just that at Sacha Lodge ( the one with the vegetarian piranha !
Ah, been wanting to check out Sacha at some point.
