Field Notes

Habitat:

A late afternoon visitor to my neighborhood and to my home, my taking pictures offended and resulted in a snarl at my poor manners and unwelcome attention.

Hi Yasmin! This macaque doesn't seem to have the bonnet or whirl of radiating hair on its head characteristic of the species. With the location I suggest it's a Rhesus macaque.
