Questions about the subject, usage, technology & more

What macaque species lives in Thailand and what does it eat?

Thailand is home primarily to the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis), also known as the crab-eating macaque. It is highly adaptable and lives in forests, coastal areas, and near human settlements. Its natural diet includes fruits, seeds, insects, and crabs. However, these animals are increasingly turning to human waste as a food source.

How can this photo be used?

This stock photo is well suited for campaigns on environmental protection, plastic pollution, and wildlife conservation. NGOs, environmental organizations, or news outlets can use it as an example for reporting on plastic waste in wildlife habitats. The commercial license on Kataloop also permits use in advertising, magazines, or educational materials. The high resolution supports large-format print applications.

What mood does this photo convey?

The young macaque's direct eye contact with the camera creates an unexpected connection between viewer and animal. The transparent plastic container in its mouth gives the scene a disturbing double meaning: curiosity and distress at the same time. The grey-beige rock tones and dry vines reinforce the sparse, serious atmosphere of this moment.

What equipment was used to capture this photo?

This photo was captured with the Sony Alpha 1 (ILCE-1) and the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS lens. The telephoto reach allowed a respectful distance from the animal without disturbing its natural behavior. At a resolution of 7538 x 5025 pixels from the Alpha 1's 50-megapixel sensor, fine fur detail and the limestone rock texture are rendered with exceptional clarity.

What visual style or trend does this photo represent?

Images that directly and authentically depict the impact of plastic waste on wildlife are in high demand among environmental organizations and media outlets. Rather than staged symbolism, campaigns increasingly rely on documentary-style wildlife photography that makes human negligence visible. This photo directly addresses that need for authentic visual content with a clear message.

What is Sam Roi Yot known for?

Sam Roi Yot is located in southern Thailand in Prachuap Khiri Khan province and is best known for its national park of the same name.

This photo illustrates how plastic waste increasingly encroaches on these natural habitats.
