en ce début d'année, une histoire pleine de douceur...
le texte est en anglais, mais les images parlent d'elle même...
You see, even monkeys love cats…………! The cat looks so content and at ease.
A long tailed macaque monkey adopts a kitten
in the forests of Bali, Indonesia.
A young long tailed macaque monkey has been spotted in a forest protectively
nuzzling and grooming a ginger kitten and making sure no harm came to it.
The extraordinary sight was captured by amateur photographer Anne Young
while on holiday at the Monkey Forest in the Ubud region of Bali, Indonesia .
During the remarkable moments the monkey would become agitated if Anne
ventured too near to take pictures and at one point used a huge leaf to try and
cover the kitten from view.
The monkey was even wary of other macaques and would not allow
other young males to get too close.
Throughout the session the kitten enjoyed the attention being lavished
on it by its protective care giver and made no effort to leave.
The reserve is inhabited by about 340 monkeys in four groups.
It is considered sacred by locals and visited by about
10,000 tourists each month.
It is not known how the cat came to be in the company of the macaques.
