EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, two young Grey-tailed Moustached Monkeys, named Arlo and Blue, gaze into the camera with expressions of love and affection. These six-month-old monkeys, Cercopithecus cephus cephodes, were rescued from poachers in Gabon and brought to ONG Animal's World in Libreville. Tragically, their mothers had been killed, leaving these babies orphaned and traumatized. Blue, the female monkey, is seen with a broken tail, a reminder of the harsh reality of their past. Yet, despite their harrowing beginning, these two bonded quickly and are now thriving under the care of their rescuers. The monkeys' side-by-side position, with their arms wrapped around each other, symbolizes their unbreakable bond and the power of love and companionship. The monkeys' vibrant colors and expressive faces stand out against the black background, making for a striking and emotional image. This studio shot, taken by renowned photographer Joel Sartore, highlights the unique beauty and individuality of these primates. The Grey-tailed Moustached Monkeys are native to Central Africa and are known for their distinctive moustache-like facial hair and long, bushy tails. This portrait serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the care that animals, especially those in captivity, require. Arlo and Blue's story is one of hope and resilience, and their loving bond is a testament to the enduring power of friendship. Whether you're an animal lover, a primate enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a beautiful and meaningful image, this portrait is sure to bring a smile to your face and a sense of warmth to your heart.
