Lion Tailed Macaque

Uploaded: November 14, 2014 | Entered: April 07, 2015 08:34:28

Description

The lion-tailed macaque ranks among the rarest and most threatened primates. Their range has become increasingly isolated and fragmented by the spread of agriculture and tea, coffee, teak and cinchona, construction of water reservoirs for irrigation and power generation, and human settlements to support such activities. They do not live, feed or travel through plantations. Destruction of their habitat and their avoidance of human proximity have led to the drastic decrease of their population. They are found in southwestern India.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/1000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 500, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 400.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

It's just heart-breaking. Yet another animal faced with extinction due to man's lack of concern or care of it's natural habitat. I love the "voice" you lend to these "lost" creatures when you photograph them and then provide us with information regarding their place (or lack thereof) in the world. Continue on, dear friend. A beautifully processed capture. #11187236
