    Happy Mother's Day!

    Moms come in many shapes and sizes, but they're made of basically the same "stuff!"

    Wild rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) mother and baby, taken near Golden Hill Country Park in Hong Kong's New Territories, over Tai Po road.

      I found this adorable pair near a nature walk in Hong Kong. I was lucky to get these photos beacause they were very anxious about my Canon. (I think they're all into Nikon over here).

      They were crossing a very busy highway on the handrail of a pedestrian bridge. This habit, of theirs', forces some uncomfortably close contact for both monkey and pedestrian. They are most definitely WILD animals.
      Why Did the Macaque Cross the Road?

      Boy, Mom's really giving you the once over in that second pic and her bairn looks a bit scared - perhaps they believed the canard about Canons. Must have been an interesting experience to see these outside of a zoo, do people just ignore them or do they stop and feed them?
