One of my favorite primate species of all time. It was called the black-crested macaque when I photographed it back in 2009. It’s now called the Celebes crested macaque. What hasn’t changed is its status of Critically Endangered. These rare primates live only in a small area of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. This one had no issues with me getting a few wide angle portraits while taking a break in the forest of Tangkoko National Park. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 26mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/40th of a second.
