Our neighborhood
in Adyar (Chennai) has canopy of trees and it provides shelter to many critter,
including monkeys that intrude the same. Monkeys had been our company for last
few years after we shifted back to our former resident area, Adyar. They come around
our residence with no prior schedule, and if we were inattentive they are ready
to carry away anything that’s possible, and mostly it’s the fruits that kept on
the dining table. We couldn’t put dry anything, no matter what; they come and scatter
away before we become alert.
The photos here
were shot last year when one of monkey’s hangout with its babe on the compound
wall next to ours. The baby monkeys (there were about four monkeys babysitting
then) had grown now and joined the invading group to bang the neighborhood. In
the picture above you could see the tiny hand of the baby monkey holding his/her
mom from before. Words fail to describe.

Really special photos, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be an amazing experience to have that large of an animal setting in your yard. I do remember your last years time with the mother and baby.
ReplyDeletewow, that's amazing! yes, i'd imagine with their intelligence and their hands and speed, they could get away with anything!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely sighting, Jeevan.
ReplyDeleteI have seen tons of monkeys in Salem.
They all seemed very attracted to the Sapota fruits and hence there was a colony living in the backyard.
I reckon the monkeys have lost their homes due to urbanization.
Have a Beautiful Weekend!
Peace :)
Hello, what a cute sight to see the babe with his/her momma. Cute monkeys. Thank you for linking up and sharing you post! Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh! A monkey and a baby monkey! Cute.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have monkeys in my area- so this seems very strange to me! You took some cool photos!
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see in your living area! Love that little baby hand reaching around the back of mama!
ReplyDeleteThere lots of monkeys around the forest and huge park nearby my home. Whenever I saw the baby monkey clinging to the mother, I would miss my mother's warm embrace. Sobs!
ReplyDeleteIts always interesting to watch monkeys. They are active always...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Very caring mother monkey.
