A langur and her baby were approached by a macaque who then gave mom a quick fur check before taking its leave. The baby was a little oblivious. 🙊 #Singapore #rafflesbandedlangur #longtailedmacaque #primates #grooming

Leaving 🇸🇬 for 🇺🇸 after a terrific 2 mo. in the tropics. Got my visa renewed and did some work in 🇻🇳. Professionally I had the grim honor of prepping this Raffles’s banded langur roadkill. There are so few of them left so we must learn from this and stop it from happening again.
