Toque Macaques In Sri Lanka
A toque macaque is sitting on the pilgrimage site in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka, on January 13, 2024. This reddish-brown-colored Old World monkey, endemic to Sri Lanka, is known locally as the rilewa or rilawa. It is named for the whorl of hair at the crown of its head, which resembles a brimless toque cap. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
