Macaca fascicularis
Some long-tailed macaques playing in a stream outside Angkor Wat. The little ones even started climbing up an overhanging tree and doing cannonballs!

Great series Rachel,congrats and thanks for sharing
Thanks all for the lovely comments! S Frazier - unfortunately the locals there encourage tourists to feed the monkeys at the temples, which didn't impress me much. One did jump on my head quite aggressively while I was taking photos and I was pretty freaked out it was going to scratch or bite me! Luckily it just sat there for a while and then jumped off.
Sensacional series
ohhh i think i love this photo!<3
nice job!
Very nice photographs! I'm not too fond of this species where they live in association with temples/sacred forests in Bali, Indonesia. Interaction with tourists has lead to them becoming quite aggressive. I hope they haven't become spoiled at Angkor Wat.
wonderful documentation of animal behavior!
Thanks everyone!! :)
