Check out this amazing gallery of animal portraits from Italian photographer Stefano Unterthiner. The post on the blog Colt+Rane doesn’t have any other info on the series or the photographer, but below is an excerpt about Unterthiner from his website.
Since 2009, Stefano is a contributing photographer for National Geographic Magazine; for his first assignment, he spent five months in the archipelago of Crozet shooting penguins for the story “Every Bird a King”. Widely published in magazines worldwide, he is the author of six photography books, the latest of which published at the end of 2010, following his assignment for National Geographic on whooper swans.

The Photo below of a Sulawesi black-crested macaca is my favorite of the bunch.
The Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra), also known as the crested black macaque, Sulawesi crested macaque, or the black ape, is an Old World monkey that lives in the northeast of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes) as well as on smaller neighboring islands. [Wikipedia]
