When I went back to Cerok Tokun yesterday morning, the second stop was noisy with different funny sounds of the monkeys. I could not understand what was really happening. The voices echoed from the right, to the left, and then appeared far atop a tree and down to the slope, almost at everywhere. When I was busy tracing the various sound sources, my attention had been distracted by something happened on my right.
The monkeys were lining up jumping from one tree to another. This must be one of the game that I could not make any sense of it. I aimed my camera at the jumping location, waiting to harvest a few action-packed pictures.
Yes, here is the first move: Get set,
Yes, here is the first move: Get set,
And the game continued.
But my focus was to follow the last one. I searched between the leaves and branches. The monkey had disappeared to nowhere. Somehow I had spotted what supposed not to be seen in the open.
I wonder while the couple were busy, what was the third one trying to do?
this is interesting. is it a mating ritual or gathering food?
ReplyDeleteBengbeng: I have edited the picture. Hope it is now self-explanatory.
ReplyDeleteHow distracting it must be for the couples! Interesting post, rainfield!

Third monkey looks like a juvenile.. He is learning ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to shot a wild monkey cause they simply can't sit still. Good one rainfield :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic photos rainfield. You caught them in the midst of jumping, that is so cool. I really enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteenjoyed this, too! i wasn't quite sure how it would end but i'm glad it did end well, haha!
ReplyDeleteThat's some unusual captures. Monkeys are good at verbal fights as much as jumping and swinging.
ReplyDeleteProbably this was a fight for death situation, to say who wins the girl.. or something along the lines.. lol
Huh Rainnie .. a rare shot on monkeys at IT. I don't know, is this ritual happening to other animals as well?... It's only last week, that neighbour's cats were at it right in my garden. But sorry to say this Rainnie, their preludes were daylong.....
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to you
