naughty thief ....

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 30 November 2006 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

In the space of five seconds, this naughty long-tailed macaque nipped down to our cabin and snatched the food we had to eat on our overnight jungle trek, along the lower Kinabatangan River, Borneo.
I managed to take this photo in the time he paused on the roof to cram in as much food as he could before his friends stole it from him.

Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!
