Barbary Macaque by Mark Wilson
The Barbary Macaque is a gregarious monkey, forming mixed groups of several females and males; the troop of 10 to 30 individuals is matriarchal, with its hierarchy determined by lineage to the lead female. Unlike other macaques, the males participate in rearing the young; much time is spent playing and grooming with them. In this way, a strong social bond is formed between a male and his offspring, both the male’s own and those of others in the troop. This may be a result of selectiveness on the part of the females, who seem to prefer highly parental males.

Eye of the Tiger by ECGardner
I don’t think it is a coincidence that the eyes of a white bengal tiger are blue, as they always seem to be filled with sadness… As you probably know, I take a lot of photos of white bengal tigers. But I always have mixed feelings when I upload them… Yes, the animals are stunning, but the white tiger isn’t something that is found in nature, and is a product of humans breeding them for the “white tiger trade.” All white tigers can be traced back to a single tiger born with a genetic mutation in the 1950s that created a white coat and blue eyes. This tiger’s “owner” immediately saw dollar signs and started to breed him to produce other white tigers. Naturally, this required a great deal of inbreeding, which has led to many white tigers having all sorts of genetic problems. Not only this, but about 3/4 of the cubs born in the white tiger trade are actually orange. These “undesirables” are either killed or sold to game farms where brave hunters pay to shoot and kill these captive animals. Because of these horribly unethical practices, the American Zoological Association prohibits its members from purchasing white tigers from such breeders and from breeding them due to the high rate of genetic defects. All of the white tigers I have photographed have been those that were fortunate enough to have been rescued from the breeding trade (including the shot Tag Team ). Most white tigers aren’t so lucky. You can help put an end to this trade by not going to circuses and animal parks that purchase white tigers from breeders. When the demand ceases, this practice will cease as well. This shot was taken with a 50mm macro lens and isn’t a crop… Yes, I was that close!! 100% of the profits from the sale of this image will be donated to Big Cat Rescue.
