EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Nilgiri langur, a unique primate species found in the lush forests of southern India. With its striking appearance and long tail, this arboreal monkey is a true symbol of the region's rich biodiversity. The image captures a single Nilgiri langur perched on a tree branch in Periyar National Park, Kerala. The park's dense woodlands provide an ideal habitat for these herbivorous creatures to thrive. Living in close-knit groups of around 10 individuals, they rely on fruits, shoots, and leaves as their primary source of sustenance. As an Asian primate belonging to the old world monkey family, Trachypithecus johnii plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance within its ecosystem. However, it is worth noting that this fascinating species is classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by human activities. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of this remarkable creature but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving such invaluable wildlife treasures. Through scientific exploration and understanding provided by organizations like Science Photo Library, we can appreciate and protect these incredible animals for generations to come.
