Long-tailed macaque

Captured in Thailand • Wild

Description:

The Long-tailed Macaque is an intelligent and highly adaptable primate commonly found in coastal forests and jungle environments.

The Little Egret is a small species of heron, recognised for its bright white plumage, slender black bill, and elegant hunting movements through shallow water. They are highly adaptable wetland birds often seen feeding on fish, frogs, crustaceans, and insects in lakes, rivers, mangroves, and urban parks. During flight, they tuck their neck into an “S” shape while slowly beating their broad white wings.

Asiatic Black bear

Captured in Laos • Sanctuary

Description:

The Asiatic Black Bear is a medium-sized bear species recognised for its thick black fur, rounded ears, and the pale crescent-shaped marking often found across its chest, giving rise to the name “Moon Bear”. Primarily inhabiting forests and mountainous regions across Asia, they are skilled climbers and spend much of their time foraging for fruits, nuts, insects, and small animals. Despite their powerful build, Moon Bears are often surprisingly playful and intelligent animals, frequently observed climbing, wrestling, and resting high above the ground.

Many Asiatic Black Bears across Southeast Asia have been heavily impacted by habitat loss and the illegal bile farming industry, where bears were historically confined to extremely small cages so bile could be extracted for use in traditional medicine. The bears photographed here now live within a protected rescue sanctuary in Laos after being rescued from that trade. Although they can no longer be safely returned to the wild, sanctuaries like this provide a far more ethical and enriching environment, allowing the bears space to roam, climb, rest, and display natural behaviours in safety.

Description:

The Asian Openbill Stork is a distinctive wetland bird found across South and Southeast Asia. Its uniquely gapped bill is specially adapted for feeding on freshwater snails, allowing it to thrive in marshes, rice paddies, and flooded grasslands. Elegant and highly social, these storks are a familiar sight in many of Asia’s wetlands.

Giant Asian Pond Turtle

Captured in Vietnam • Rescue Center

Description:

The Giant Asian Pond Turtle is one of Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater turtles, recognised for its broad shell and powerful build. Found in rivers, marshes, and forest wetlands, it feeds on aquatic plants, fruit, and small invertebrates. Once common across the region, this species has declined dramatically due to habitat loss and overcollection for the food and wildlife trades.

The Northern Yellow-Cheeked Gibbon is a critically endangered ape native to the forests of Cambodia, Laos, and southern Vietnam. Females are a striking golden-orange colour, while males are predominantly black. These agile primates are known for their haunting morning calls and their remarkable ability to swing effortlessly through the forest canopy

sambar deer

Captured in Vietnam • Rescue Center

Description:

These deer play an important ecological role as major herbivores and as prey for predators such as tigers and leopards

Description:

The Red-Shanked Douc Langur is one of the world’s most striking primates, celebrated for its vivid red legs, grey body, white forearms, and golden-orange face. Endemic to the forests of central Vietnam, Laos, and northeastern Cambodia, this arboreal leaf-eater spends nearly its entire life high in the canopy, moving gracefully through the trees in small social groups. As a specialist browser, it plays an important role in maintaining the health and diversity of tropical forests

Indochine rhesus macaque

Captured in Vietnam • wild

Description:

The Indochinese Rhesus Macaque is a regional subspecies of the rhesus macaque, widely distributed across mainland Southeast Asia. Highly intelligent and adaptable, these social primates live in multi-generational groups and thrive in a variety of habitats, from dense forests to coastal reserves.
