In winter, its coat turns white to blend with snow.
In summer, it camouflages against the tundra.

The Celebes crested macaque stands out - quite literally. Note the prominent hair crest - thin, but definitely punk.

This great friend is #endangered and needs #conservation of their habitat in Indonesia.
