Crab-Eating Macaque
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Pictures As a humanitarian bush pilot flying in northeast Kalimantan, Indonesia, on the island of Borneo, I’m blessed along with my family to have many opportunities to see unique and exciting wildlife. Not far from our house is a small mangrove area that's home to these toothy crab-eating macaques. (This photo and caption were submitted to Your Shot.)
