oh mah gah. a long tailed macaque monkey adopted this kitten in the forests of bali, indonesia. the monkey was spotted protectively nuzzling & grooming the ginger kitten and making sure no harm came to it. the monkey would become agitated if the photographer or other monkeys got too near and at times tried to cover the kitten with a huge leaf to protect it! no one is sure how the kitten came to be there. the kitten makes no effort to leave and seems to enjoy the attention lavished upon it. they live in the monkey forest park in the ubud region of bali which is inhabited by about 340 monkeys in four groups. it is considered to be a sacred place by locals. these photographs were taken by amateur photographer ann young while on holiday.
