This month Becky’s Squares are focusing on odd things – you can interpret this any way you want so I am going to take you all to the zoo this month. San Diego Zoo to be precise and the photos featured will be either odd looking animals, animals with odd names, odd facts or slightly odd photos. I hope you’ll enjoy my selection.
The lion-tailed macaque’s name is derived from its long tail, which has a tassel at the end like that of a lion. Unfortunately this one was sitting on his! In the wild, lion-tailed macaques live in tropical dry forest and tropical rainforest in India. They spend most of their time high up in the trees of the dense, wet forests.
Lion-tailed macaques have handy cheek pouches for quick and easy sustenance storage. They routinely employ these convenient and roomy pouches to keep their valuable findings away and safe from the prying eyes and grasps of others.
If you want to join in either daily, weekly or just on the odd occasion then please visit Becky, the only rule is that the main photo MUST be a square – that is four equal sides! You have been warned 😉
Hmm, wouldn’t like to meet him on a dark night!
Must be a lot of work to clean around his mouth and face. That’s a lot of hair!!
Beautiful animals!
