Some say that the “eyes are the window to the soul”. As you can see, the eyes of the macaques are beautiful, intense and always alert for the prowling tigers and leopards! They are the alarm signals of the forest.
Macaques are often called the “old world” monkeys. There are some 23 species of Macaques which are spread from Japan to India.

Macaques are notorious for getting into everything. Give them a crack and they will invade your cabin or car. Within mere seconds, they use those “cute” hands and feet to tear apart your suitcase in search of food.
While on safari in India or Africa it is sometimes easy to overlook the “small stuff” which can be beautiful in their own right.
