Monkeying Around in the Nilgiri Hills - A Wild Encounter with India's Mischievous Macaque!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, captured by the talented Don Hadden, we are transported to the enchanting realm of the Nilgiri Hills in southwest India. Meet DH-3517, a charismatic Rhesus Macaque who reigns supreme over this lush paradise. Known for their mischievous nature and striking resemblance to humans, these monkeys have left an indelible mark on both science and folklore. Not only did they gift us with the hereditary blood antigen Rh-factor (yes, that's right - you share something special with them!), but they also play vital roles in biological, medical, and psychological research. Omnivorous by nature, these cheeky creatures may occasionally nibble on crops causing minor headaches for farmers. Surprisingly though, even Hindus who hold animals sacred seem unfazed by their antics! Perhaps it's because these adorable macaques bring a touch of wild charm to everyday life. So sit back and let your imagination swing from tree to tree as you admire this single Rhesus Monkey perched majestically against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. Let its playful gaze transport you into a world where wildlife thrives amidst ancient traditions. Remember – no commercial use allowed! But feel free to let your imagination run wild as you delve into the wonders of Asia through Don Hadden's lens.
