Zhayynn James: " In 2017 I visited Assam in the North-East of India for the first time. It was an amazing experience encompassing Kaziranga National Park, Nameri Tiger Reserve & Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary. This is where I encountered a troop of stump-tailed macaques, foraging one the forest floor amidst the dense vegetation. It was an incredibly moving experience to be surrounded by a troop, often well within arms length, that weren’t the least bit concerned of the presence of a group of photographers. No alarm, no threat, no scurrying out of the way. They just went about their foraging peacefully. Being primarily ground dwellers, I took this image of this individual clinging to a tree, when it turned its face, a soulful look in its eyes.
As is often the case, the species is under threat and is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN Redlist. "
