Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India, 1996 Photograph by
Michael Nichols In an image taken by a remotely operated 35-mm camera,
a baby langur monkey clings to his mother&#039s chest in India&#039s
Bandhavgarh National Park. Photographer Michael Nichols set up the
cameras to capture tigers in action, but the active langur monkeys
tripped the infrared beam thousands of times a day, using up so many
rolls of film that he had to adjust the timer to operate during "tiger
time" R12;late afternoon, when tigers prepared for their nightly hunt.

published in, "Sita: Life of a Wild Tigress," December 1997, National
Geographic magazine)    RELATED
