Albino primate

This is an extremely rare albino long-tailed macaque I photographed in Malaysia. I've been looking for and photographing albino animals for years because they are so unusual. The macaque was in captivity because an albino animal like this would have a very short lifespan in the wild. It has no camouflage and is therefore extremely vulnerable to predation. Notice the red eyes typical of albinos -- they are almost spooky. I used my 24-105mm lens, and the settings were 1/125, f/9, and 800 ISO.
