[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Both of them are different familise, one on left is Common Langur and the right is Bonnet Macaque.very seldom we can see the macaque clening the langur and feed on its lice. but Langurs will never do this favour to macaques. This was taken at bandipur national park.

Hello Satish,

It is indeed a rare phenomena. Well captured and composed with importance to the expressions. The 'curious' and 'relaxed' are with good details. It is interesting to know the Macaque never gets this favor from the Langur.

Thanks a lot for sharing

"You scratch my back and I scratch yours" syndrome in full view here, Satish :).
Seriously, I have never seen these two different simian races indulging in this kind of intimate behaviour.
In that respect, you have captured a break-through image.
The focus may have gone a bit haywire on the lower parts of the subjects. Nevertheless, it is an image that would make people sit up.
Thanks and all the best.
Ram

a rare capture indeed!!!
