Hunger

A bonnet macaque hogging a jackfruit on a rainy day at Kudremukha National park. I would hog if I were a monkey, I do hog in memory of my ancestors :). A monkey which knows not when & where it's next meal would come from or who else would claim stake at the fruit, has no option but to hog.

 

 

 

 

Sharing information by Sandeep Somasekharan - the macaque is storing the fruit under it's chin either to feed it's offspring or to eat at leisure. Thanks Sandy :).

 

 

 

This image has it's shortcomings- mainly the distracting leaves - which kept me from uploading this picture for a long time. But eventually, the pure emotion of hunger,hogging & the glint in the eyes of the macaque made me share this picture :). Not to forget the cut open jackfruit :).

 

Please do let me know how much you like/hate this image? TIA.
