A baby Rhesus macaque clinging to its mother in Chamundi Hills.

Driving down the famous Chamundi Hills in Karnataka, India, we came across a group of Rhesus macaques on the side of the road. I tried to get as close as I could, and I didn't realize I had gotten such a perfect shot until later. The baby macaque looks straight into the camera while the mother nervously looks at the rest of us.
