Black Crested Macaque - a photo on Flickriver

I yesterday remembered this picture from the black crested north sulawesi macaque. It was shot in Tangkoko National park, and they are truly wild animals. The black crested macaque is endangered, and in this park they protect them. I was here while I was volunteering in a program (at tasikoki animal rescue center), where there are also black crested macaques, that have been confiscated by the police from illegal trading, and from people that keep them as pets. Since then I am a volunteer for Masarang International who helps through fundraising (www.masarang.nl) and financing reforestation projects.

I consider this shot still as my best animal pic, and it was a complete lucky shot. Lucky because I used flash, which is normally a horrible device in tropical rainforest.

Here this macaque is being groomed by another macaque, and therefor he is not really looking at me, but somewhere into the ....?
