silvered leaf monkey of Bintan Resorts
By now you would already smelled that I have been preoccupied with other unimportant matters such that this blog is left unattended for two weeks. Well I’m still up to my neck with stuffs, such that a few more interesting frames from my Yogyakarta visit need to wait a little while.
I do have, however, this cute silvered leaf baby monkey (Trachypithecus cristatus) that I shot only yesterday during one of the numerous mangrove surveys. Listed as endangered species, this is my first clear shot of the monkey in my 11 years in Bintan Resorts.
It came in view, as my many other lucky shots, only for a few seconds. That time I still had my settings for HDR with auto-bracketing active. I had no time to change the dial. Three shots. This one came out the best. I hope you like it and have a great weekend!

It is Presbytis siamensis rhionis, Bintan island pale-thighed langur (Bintan langur), the endemic primate of Bintan. There are 2 others genus of primates in Bintan, the macaca fascicularis and trachypithecus cristatus (lutung). From references I found that Bintan langur’s status in IUCN Redlist is endangered, means that we have to conserve it to keep it alive. …let’s #savebintanlangur
Thank you for your detailed information. 🙏🏼
