Macaque

A monkey was crossing the garden when I opened the curtains, I jumped on my camera and got a shot at the neighbor's house that he was visiting as well. I've seen him twice.
The Macaca fasciluralis was introduced by the Portugueses in the 16th century and like most non -indigenous species is a threat to local flora and fauna.
They are everywhere on the Island, mainly around touristic and religious sites were they can feed on junk food.
