This young monkey is a Hanuman langur. They were very common while on safari in India. It was interesting the way they hung out and worked together with the spotted deer to alert each other of any lurking tigers. The langurs would keep watch from high in the trees while the deer would use their senses on the ground. If either heard or saw danger, they would sound the alarm. This particular langur, however, seemed very relaxed and was taking a rest from play (never staying too far from mom). Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 116mm) ISO 800, f/3.2 at 1/500th of a second.
How you always find the perfect subjects just
Waiting for you to come along for the perfect picture
I just don’t know but you did it again
I enjoy the little bits of information along with the shots
Things I would never know
These guys kept me busy while searching for tigers. I only saw three tigers in ten days, but plenty of langurs and different deer species to photograph.
So interesting that the two species work together. Always love the tidbits of info you provide. My first thought when I saw this guy was he has a look and posture that says: “Don’t get that thing near me!!”

Love this!
Thanks Mo. I have a frog for you tomorrow.
How close can you get to those little guys? He’s so cute!!
Sometimes they were ten/fifteen feet from us, but we were in our safari vehicle. No getting out of the car on Indian safaris.
great pic. ) these little guys are cute., when you stop did they ever try to right up to the car or jeep windows. ? )
Interesting pose of that young langur. Fascinating to learn about the survival strategy shared by two species working in tandem.
