Wolfgang's photos with the keyword: Macaque

The monkeys within the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal are commonly called long-tailed macaques. Macaques are found throughout Southeast Asia and many species of macaques live successfully in areas that are heavily utilized by humans. On Bali, there are Balinese long-tailed macaque troops (populations) that live in areas where they have little to no contact with humans and troops that come into contact with humans on a regular basis. However, despite the fact that many species of macaques thrive in areas that are heavily utilized by humans, there is evidence that the viability of Balinese long-tailed macaques (the ability of macaques to continue to thrive) may be dependent upon the conservation of Bali's forested areas.

When the passengers through the garbage bags out the car window macaques already are waiting to catch the bags open them carefully and look for the contents.

The berries were exotic fruit on Bali too, so we wonder where they get such delicacies. Either somebody gave them as an offering or they simple steal them from a fruit shop out of the store basket.

Somewhere on the way to the Buyan crater lake a group of macaques eating strawberries. When we stopped for a photo session the monkeys did not take care about us and kept on eating their dainties.

As we started to join the monkeys feast the group of the other apes seems to take no notice about our stealing of some strawberries but we got big troubles by the boss.
