Saw this Langur mother feeding the baby, sitting on the wall on the periphery of the Bandhavgarh National Park. I have another frame where the both mother and baby are looking at me but I seem to like this more. Langurs have a lot of character and can be very interesting subjects. It is always refreshing to see them socializing and the young playing. Photographed using a Nikon d300 and Nikkor 200-400 vr lens on a monopod.

Here a langur monkey sits near the entrance of a cave where the dominant male tiger of bandhavgarh sleeps.

It was a amazing moment to watch this guy.
This baby langur was crying like a human baby, this was the first time i saw something like this and i almost stopped photographing. As a wildlife photographer often you encounter human like behaviours among animals that makes it special, this is one such image for me shot in pench national park sometime back.
