Lion Tailed Macaques, LTM’s, in the Western ghats of India.

Posted on January 13, 2020

The lion tailed macaque or the wanderoo, is an old world monkey endemic to the Western ghats of South India. It’s one of the most endagered species in the world. And I was lucky enough to meet them, spend time with them and get some great pictures of this amazing creature.

Monkeying around

Posted on June 19, 2019

On the way up to the top of Nandi hills we drove by what looked like a tank so of course I had to get out and have a look. It sure was a water tank. Square with steps, a little water and monkeys. Sneaky makaks !!!

Cheeky monkeys in Nandi hills.

Posted on May 6, 2019

We stopped for breakfast at a restaurant along the road close to Nandi hills and all of a sudden I saw something swinging in one of the mango trees. Yes it was monkeys. It was a family of small macaques.

I assure you that they are fast when they want something….like food from a table.

The older ones where busy with grooming while the youngsters where playing around among the guests.

Sorry for no update over the weekend but I have been traveling and I had no access to internet. I promise I will tell you all about our “rickshaw” ride to the mountains and what we did up there. So hang in there or hang on to the back, your choice.

Did you know that up to 16 people can ride in a black rickshaw at once ?! Well, “in” the rickshaw also means hanging on outside in the back and on the sides. Incredible <:

I’ve got a monkey on my kitchen balcony

Posted on July 23, 2016

today the monkey on my kitchen balcony was back and he almost scared me to death…you see it’s not really what I expect to find staring at me when I walk into my kitchen which is on the 20th floor….

the sneaky little thing, well, quite big for being a monkey started to try and open my windows and when that didn’t work he tried the door !!! I’m so happy that it was locked…I did stand there and held the door though…just in case !
