Here’s the fifth and final primate species that I photographed in Thailand. These guys were really habituated to people and living in and around an old temple somewhere between Bangkok and Kaeng Krachan National Park. From what I hear, they are considered sacred by some, pests by others, and useful by medical researchers for laboratory experiments because of their similarity to humans. Most of them kind of ignored that I was even there, but the young ones are always a bit curious. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/800th of a second

A virtual portrait. They are not so different from us.
They sure aren’t. Very human like in expression/emotion/behavior. And their eyes are very human like.
great pic., they are so diffrent from us, how can some comp these aminals to man .?
Only a few chromosomes different.
They must go through horrors being used for experiments.
Yeah, I’m not sure exactly what kind of research is done. Hopefully not too bad.
What a cutie!!!
Cool haircut, too.
No doubt. I’m a bit envious.
