Nice shots, the facial expressions are fascinating.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It’s amazing how expressive animals can be.
Whoa these animals are beautiful, Whats their price tag, are they expensive.

Thank you! I agree – they were beautiful!
Reblogged this on WHITE FRAISE.
Thanks for reblogging!!!!
Love the image of the Silverback, really shows how close we are, seen that expression in the office many times
I know – it’s amazing how expressive the monkeys are. So human-like.
That big old gorilla will throw his stick at you if he hears you call him monkey. I understand they’re a bit picky about that sort of thing.
The zoo is one of my favourite places to take photographs. I love these, especially the mangabey ones!
Thank you! Yes- the zoo is never short of interesting subjects to take photos of!
Awesome photos, I’m going to have to show them to my little nephew too, he’ll love seeing them :)
Thank you! Please let me know if he likes them! : )
I definitely will :)
Your photographs are lovely. So intimate. Love the composition.
Thank you so much!
It makes me sad seeing all those animals living their entire life trapped in a cage… :’( Don’t support zoos or whatever these places are called…

I had mixed feelings about it – it was sad to see some of the animals in cages, but they seemed very well tended to at this zoo, and many of them are endangered, some even hunted in the wild.
Beautiful images, and some pretty funny expressions!
Thank you! I agree about the expressions!
Really wonderful shots
(:
Thank you so much!!
wow, some real monkey business there
real kudos to the photographer :))
Thank you thank you!
Awesome.
Thanks : )
You took a lot of pictures. I like the zebras and giraffes. I fed a giraffe several times at our game farm out here in New York. They are very friendly animals and they are so tall.
I know! I love giraffes too – though I have never gotten to feed one!
so nice job and photo shot was very good. very nice cover as well
Thank you!
The pictures are absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank YOU so much for stopping by!!
Love your photos! Many of these animals are featured in the children’s ebooks that my partner and I publish through our little company, Bookpx. (www.bookpx.com)
Thank you! I will have to check out your site! : )
As hot as it’s been on the East Coast, this is my kind of way to go to the zoo! Thanks for the pics I enjoyed them.
I’m so glad! Yeah – it was about 100 degrees outside that day. We were melting, but we had a great time.
Cute pictures love all the funny monkeys xD.
Love & Peace,
Samantha
Thank you! : )

Some very interesting photos of monkeys and their behavior! AMONG other things~!
These are great! I love the little red-shanked douc langur. It’s like a little old man! Awwww. Any of these photos could be in a magazine or be some sample desktop background that comes with the computer, you know? They’re really nice. Congrats on FP!
