Many say that baby macaques are cute. Those people may not have seen a true infant, hairless and wrinkled, looking–ironically–like an old man.
This one hasn’t even grown to fully look like H. Ross Perot. You see, all young macaques look like H. Ross Perot, and some adult macaques look like Gary Busey.

DAILY PHOTO: Helping Hand or Monkey Bite?: You Decide
Taken on March 24, 2014 at Nandi Hills.
One monkey was hanging off the fascia of Tipu Sultan’s old hunting lodge. The other was either being a helpful monkey–trying to help his brother up–or being a mischievous monkey–trying to make him fall.
You figure out which.
Here’s a photo from moments later.
Still can’t tell?
If you said they were in the middle of a mixed martial arts knock-down-drag-out, you were correct. Here you can see the monkey who had been hanging getting a single-leg take-down on his tormentor.
FYI- For those who think one needs to get all “roided up” for strength building: Note this apparently puny monkey had the upper body strength to pull himself onto a roof while successfully fighting off an attack.

Taken in September of 2013 in Nandi Hills, India.
India has a lot of street dogs. While there are many that are in a tragic state, others look like they’re someone’s pet. They tend to cluster together in places like parks where they have prospects for both food and to not be run over by rampaging autorickshaw drivers.

Taken on September 21, 2013 in Nandi Hills.
Tipu’s Lodge, also referred to as Tipu’s Summer Palace, is one of the first things one sees upon entering the old fortification of Nandi Hills. On this particular morning, the hilltop was submerged into clouds, making visibility limited and casting a haze over everything.
