Chunky Monkey approaching
This was a slightly alarming moment when an adult male Tibetan Macaque started approaching me with a purposeful look in his eyes. Tibetan Macaques are the largest species of macaque weighing up to 19.5kg. Like most macaques, Tibetans have learnt that humans often have food and he was approaching me as a potential source of food. In the wild they are mainly vegetarian, eating bamboo, leaves, roots, grass, fruit, but they also eat insects. I took the photograph at about 2000m at Labahe, Sichuan, China.
