Even Macaques get lost in deep thought

It is no secret that the Periyar Tiger Reserve hosts a magnificently large collection of wildlife, that is what attracts tourists around the world — take a hike within the boundaries of the massive sanctuary and you are likely to see some amazing creatures. However, we cannot forget that the boundaries of the reserve are merely human constructs, designed by our minds to protect and preserve the organisms within. Animals abide by no such regulations, boundaries for them are constrained only by the habitats in which they may successfully occupy, thus, spillover is likely.

We can see examples of this in our very own Cardamom County, where we play host to human occupants eager to step foot inside the reserve to see these animals for themselves. With our close proximity to the reserve, one is never too far removed from close encounters with wilder critters — an observant eye may be more required to appreciate the hotel’s “other” occupants, but such observations are always rewarding, and can sometimes make for opportune photography moments.

Take a moment to appreciate everything nature has to offer and you will never be unsatisfied.

Haven’t quite figured out what these little guys are, if anyone knows please comment!
