A trip to the Batu Cave today to see amazing limestone formations and a selection of weird cave crawlies - unfortunately the photos are not the best as it was pitch black!

Outside the caves are lots of food stalls and so in turn lots of wild Macaques who have learnt they can get an easy meal here. This one was actually quite gentle with her baby but on the whole they can be pretty nasty as they beg and steal food or anything they can grab. I've seen cameras taken although they'd have to be weightlifters to take mine. The big males can be quite intimidating.
fantastic capture

@brav Thank you Richard - when I look at this she looks so gentle, that was before she bared her teeth as me!

So motherly and gentle. Never cross a mother, though!

Wow. Guess you won't be snacking too much around there...

@danette @helixconcepts you are both so right - we didn't dare have any snacks, we saw them climbing up people's trouser legs!!
