skydiving Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta)

A brilliant natural history museum, built in time for the Olympics when they were held in Beijing in 2008. The museum covers three floors.

.....Rhesus Macaque

Looks more like a High-fiving Skydiving Rhesus Macaque.
 
yeah I really didn't understand where they were going with this mount. The other primates were positioned more naturally (although the museum did seem to like posing animals clinging to walls). This macaque can be seen at top right in the photo below.

 
Some of those displays give you a whole new definition of the term "spider monkey"! :p

It's natural for langurs to climb on cliffs, but the gesture of the macaque specimen is really stupid.
 
It looks like it wants to give you a big hug! I give it credit for creativity.

And I'm digging your new profile pic Chlidonias! Twas an awesome movie :D

that is credit to (or the fault of) DDCorvus and a comment he made last year in my travel thread. The story may have ended, but I thought I might give the picture a trial anyway.
