Bukit Timah is a small park adjacent to the large jungle and water reservoirs in the middle of Singapore island. We spent a couple of hours here with a local biologist who described the long tailed macaque behaviors. She was enamored with the troupe and told us great stories about them. This group lives at the edge of the jungle and is quite used to humans so we were able to be within several feet without disturbing them.  |
| Juvenile running along a fence... there was a dog barking below so he was pretty quick! |
 |
| Mature female. Rank is passed through the females so birthright rules. |
 |
| Grooming is the currency of macaques... you pick my fleas and I'll get yours... |
 |
| There were four of these little guys about 4-6 weeks old. If you look closely you can see their 'double mohawks' |
 |
| This female is grooming a mother in the hopes of holding her baby. They all seem to love holding babies! |
 |
| The mortality rate amongst the infants is about 40% despite the great care they receive. |
 |
| Snapped the shutter too late on this one... Kida and this juvenile were staring at each other for quite a while until he turned away and feigned disinterest. |
