Red-tailed monkey This monkey was a little bit inquisitive, and a lot camera shy. I was eating dinner in the Mpanga Forest Reserve (shortly after finding myself in the middle of an army ant swarm) when it appeared to see what I was doing. There was a lot of vegetation between the two of us, so this was the one mostly clean picture that I managed to take.

    Again a beautiful story and species intro. Don't worry about the photo too much, I actually think partly blocking vegetation can really add to the scene being wild. Posted 11 years ago
