EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Bonnet macaques, scientifically known as Macaca radiata, perched on a stone wall in the picturesque Periyar National Park located in southern India's Kerala region. These mischievous monkeys derive their name from the distinctive bonnet-shaped patch of hair adorning their heads. Ranging between 35 and 60 centimeters in body length, these omnivorous primates feast on ripe fruits, leaves, and insects. Living harmoniously within evergreen and deciduous forests, these Asian macaques exhibit fascinating social interactions within their groups. The Western Ghats serve as an ideal habitat for them to thrive amidst the lush greenery and abundant wildlife that characterizes this biodiverse region. Photographer Tony Camacho has skillfully captured this moment showcasing the natural beauty of these bonnet macaques against the backdrop of a weathered stone wall. Their expressive faces reveal curiosity and intelligence while they engage with one another. This image not only highlights the biological wonders found in India but also serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature's diverse fauna. It invites us to appreciate and protect such incredible creatures who play an integral role in maintaining ecological balance within their ecosystem.
