EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Crested Black Macaque, also known as the Celebes Crested Macaque (Macaca nigra). Native to Sulawesi and its neighboring islands in Indonesia, this remarkable monkey is a true symbol of the island's rich fauna. The image was captured in Tangkoko National Park, located in Northern Sulawesi, where these macaques thrive amidst lush natural surroundings. With their distinctive crests and expressive faces, they are truly a sight to behold. Feeding predominantly on fruit but displaying an adaptable diet, including leaves, flower buds, fungus, bird eggs, and insects; these primates have mastered survival in their arboreal habitat. Their biology and behavior make them fascinating subjects for zoological studies. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details of this old-world monkey's face - from its piercing eyes to every contour on its head. The image serves as a reminder of the incredible biodiversity found across Asia's nature reserves. This stunning print by Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate the beauty of nature while providing valuable insights into primate biology and conservation efforts. It serves as a testament to both the photographer's skill and dedication to capturing moments that inspire awe and curiosity about our natural world.
