      It is hard to find words to describe this.

      .....Rhesus Macaque

      Looks more like a High-fiving Skydiving Rhesus Macaque.

      yeah I really didn't understand where they were going with this mount. The other primates were positioned more naturally (although the museum did seem to like posing animals clinging to walls). This macaque can be seen at top right in the photo below.

      Some of those displays give you a whole new definition of the term "spider monkey"! :p

      It's natural for langurs to climb on cliffs, but the gesture of the macaque specimen is really stupid.

      that is credit to (or the fault of) DDCorvus and a comment he made last year in my travel thread. The story may have ended, but I thought I might give the picture a trial anyway.
