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. 🙊

Let's talk about animal cruelty content on social media.
A BBC investigation uncovered a global monkey torture ring where people engage in macaque torture videos on Youtube & Tiktok. When you come across these, DO NOT ENGAGE. REPORT.

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.

Roadside flies sampling reveals mammal and bird diversity !
Now out in Molecular Ecology: Metabarcoding of dissolved feces from flies baited with fish detects endangered mammal and bird species. Roadside sampling and sequencing with #MinION or #Illumina is sufficient. Network analysis reveals species interactions. doi.org/10.1111/mec.16767

"By means of our research and filming from January to March 2022 finally, the snow monkey’s actual moment of fishing was captured on camera [...] [T]here is definitely an established “fishing culture” within at least three troops."
