Witness the incredible diversity of cercopithecidae, a family of primates that spans across various continents and habitats. In this captivating portrait, a Golden snub-nosed monkey captures our attention with its piercing scream and fearsome display of teeth. Meanwhile, in Jigokudani, Nagano Prefecture, Japanese Macaques find solace in hot springs, showcasing their adaptability to extreme temperatures. On the island of Zanzibar, a brave Zanzibar red colobus monkey fearlessly crosses the main road through the Reserve, reminding us of their resilience amidst human encroachment. Further east in Sabah, Borneo, we encounter a majestic Proboscis monkey male perched on a tree branch against the backdrop of lush Riverine forest along Kinabatangan River. Venturing into Uganda's wilderness reveals an enchanting scene where a Vervet sits gracefully on a tree stump relishing juicy fruit. Meanwhile, deep within Valparai's dense forests in Tamil Nadu lies an adorable Lion-tailed macaque infant innocently sucking its finger among its troop. In China's Qinling Mountains dwells another heartwarming sight - a mother Golden snub-nosed monkey tenderly cradles her baby as they navigate their mountainous habitat together. Returning to Sabah's magical landscapes once more brings us face-to-face with Yunnan or Black Snub-nosed monkeys at Ta Cheng Nature reserve; adults guiding their young ones through nature's wonders. Traveling westward to Assam in India introduces us to the serene presence of Golden langurs sitting peacefully atop trees on Umanada Temple Island. Lastly but not least is Sumatra's Thomass Langur - an endemic species found only here - reminding us how precious and fragile biodiversity truly is. These glimpses into cercopithecidae’s world unveil both their remarkable beauty and vulnerability as they adapt, survive, and nurture their young.
