Isabela thanks a lot for sharing..
Some species have little difference not simply identified.
In my pics I may take this specie..
Hi Ashish, Thank you for your suggestion which gave me a push to find out about monkeys in India. When I was doing some research I discovered that monkeys in South India are different species from North India. So a new species for our loved Project Noah: Macaca radiata.
Yes its the same you find in my spotting.. Please mention your observations..
Wow it got so close to you!
