EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Nilgiri langur, also known as Trachypithecus johnii, in its natural habitat. Native to southern India, specifically the lush Nilgiri Hills of the Western Ghats, this remarkable monkey species thrives in groups of approximately 10 individuals. Their diet primarily consists of a variety of fruits, shoots, and leaves found within their verdant surroundings. Photographed within the breathtaking Periyar National Park located in Kerala, southern India, this image beautifully captures the essence of these arboreal creatures. With their long tails gracefully draped from tree branches and their expressive faces reflecting curiosity and intelligence, these primates are truly a sight to behold. The Nilgiri langur's vulnerable status further emphasizes the importance of preserving their fragile ecosystem. As an herbivorous mammal endemic to Asia's old world monkeys' family, they play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity within these woodlands. Tony Camacho has masterfully captured this moment with his lens for Science Photo Library. The intricate details showcased in this photograph allow us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the biological significance that each individual holds within their community. As we admire this stunning image print without any commercial intentions or usage considerations mentioned by Science Photo Library themselves let it serve as a reminder to cherish and protect our planet's diverse wildlife for generations to come.
