Wicked primate! I've removed this from the Signs of Wildlife mission, as the wildlife is clearly visible here.

Congratulations Ashok, this beautiful primate has been chosen as spotting of the day!

The striking lion-tailed macaque is one of the smallest and most endangered of the macaque species. They are becoming increasingly rare, mainly as a result of the destruction of their forest home. Only 1% of the original habitat remains today due to widespread deforestation for timber, agriculture and development.
