EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the heart of the Virunga Mountains National Park, Rwanda. The image showcases two enchanting golden monkeys, scientifically known as Cercopithecus kandti, basking in their natural habitat. These remarkable primates are native to Central Africa and thrive in social groups that can reach up to 30 individuals. The duo is perched gracefully amidst the lush greenery of the forest, showcasing their arboreal nature. With their striking golden fur shimmering under dappled sunlight, they exude an air of elegance and mystique. Their expressive eyes seem to reflect both curiosity and tranquility. As true vegetarians, these magnificent creatures rely on a diet consisting mainly of leaves and fruit found within their tropical rainforest home. This particular moment captures one monkey delicately feeding on its chosen foliage while its companion looks on with apparent interest. Photographer Peter J. Raymond has skillfully captured this intimate scene, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of African wildlife. Through his lens, we gain insight into the intricate world of these old-world primates who play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance within their habitat. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these precious species and preserve their natural environment for generations to come.
