Description
Primates, especially monkeys and gibbons, hold cultural significance in Cambodia, playing a role in the country’s traditions, beliefs, and cultural expressions. Many folktales frequently depict monkeys as cunning, mischievous, and occasionally helpful characters.
This illustration depicts a Lakhon Khol (masked dance-drama) dancer dressed as Hanuman alongside all 12 species of non-human primates found in Cambodia. Among these are the critically endangered pileated gibbon, vibrant red-shanked douc and the nocturnal and elusive pygmy slow loris.
