23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Guardian of Gatun Lake
Perched among the lush foliage along Panama’s Gatun Lake, this tamarin watches the world with alert, intelligent eyes. Its striking white crest and dark, expressive face stand out against the deep greens of the rainforest. Known for their quick movements and sharp curiosity, these small primates are a lively part of the rich biodiversity that thrives in the Panama Canal region.
