Sleeping Beauties - A Gelada's Serene Siesta in the Simien Mountains
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Ignacio Yufera, a rare and endangered Gelada monkey finds solace amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Ethiopia's Simien Mountains. The adult female gracefully carries her precious cargo - a baby nestled peacefully on her back - as they both indulge in a well-deserved nap after an eventful day of grazing. As the golden sun bathes the highland grasses, these magnificent creatures find sustenance and tranquility in their natural habitat. With each gentle nibble, they savor nature's buffet while basking in the cool mountain breeze. It is truly a sight to behold! Endemic to Ethiopia, Geladas are known for their distinctive red chest patches and impressive social structures. This tender moment between mother and child showcases not only their strong bond but also highlights the importance of protecting these remarkable primates. With its captivating composition and vibrant colors, this photograph transports us to an ethereal realm where time stands still. It reminds us that even in the wildest corners of our planet, love knows no bounds – whether it be found among humans or our animal counterparts. So let us cherish this heartwarming image as a reminder to appreciate life's simple joys – like finding peace under an African sky or sharing dreams with loved ones on nature's canvas.
