The Saluwesi black crested macaque (Macaca nigra) belongs to the largest primate genus: Macaca. I love this photo by Andrew Walmsley who I was lucky enough to have several lectures/talks by at Oxford Brookes this year- I can now blame him for my expensive new camera which I couldn’t really afford, and for spending all my procrastination time on lightroom rather than essays.
