Toque macaque family #7
Toque macaques are a primate species endemic to Sri Lanka known to be incredibly human-like and intelligent. It was early morning and I had just finished working on a large panoramic of the spectacular vista in front of me in the Ella region, when I heard some commotion in tall trees carved into the hillside nearby. After following the sounds I found a family group high up and wanted to get some photos. I was able to get this perspective by climbing up to the highest floor and then roof of the adjacent accommodation building giving a unique canopy view and insight into the lives of these charismatic monkeys.
