Crab-eating macaque foraging in a pond, Monkey Forest, Ubud, Bali

---

Balinese long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, a nature reserve and Hindu temple complex in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. The monkeys at the Monkey Forest Temple are very numerous (over 600) and can be quite aggressive in their pursuit of food. Tourists can be attacked if they are carrying or suspected of carrying food and the monkeys are large enough to be quite intimidating. They'll also grab bags and even cameras or camera lenses and I've seen them trying to open camera bags in case there might be food in them.
