Khlong Saeng in Thailand is a flooded mountain range paradise. Exploration is almost exclusively by boat and even all the lodges are floating on water. Steep, jungle-covered cliffs rise from the water’s surface and support all sorts of wildlife. One of the more conspicuous mammals is the white-handed gibbon. Gibbons are extremely acrobatic apes and it was a thrill to see them swinging from branch to branch. I was able to get quite a few frame-filling shots, but I always prefer when I can show a bit of the environment. Like their fellow apes (chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans and humans) gibbons lack a tail, they tend to be larger than monkeys and usually have bigger brains. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/320th of a second.

If he’s got such a big brain why doesn’t he realize he’s showing everyone his butthole?
Perfectly legitimate question Louis. I have no biological answer.
