While there were a number of macaques on my last visit years ago, this time the Silvered Leaf Monkey far outrank their lighter hue cousins.
Interestingly, I saw a macaque eating waffle cone ice cream ob both visits.
In the primate infested hillside, the tailless species was rather generously offering the aboreal ones food of many kinds. An unbroken silvery black line formed on the metal dividers. As those who had their fill retreated, more hungry ones came and took their place.
The monkeys were so spoiled for choices that they became pretty picky on their diet. Behold the munching monkeys!
I also had the good pleasure of seeing a golden child.
Mother had to juggle between her food and protecting the little one.
One of the five foot tall primate insisted on harrassing the mother until she was visibly upset. I think she was being extraordinarily patient and restrained for a wild monkey. To be provoked so many times, it was a wonder she had not resort to fangs and claws.
A white lighthouse also stood upon the hill.
And a fishing village sits along the river by the hill.
These local products, popular with tourists were drying under the tropical sun.
And we have a thief caught red-handed!
Bad bad dog indeed!
