Capuchin Monkey with a Pine cone

I had to make a separate post for this little guy that was playing with a pine cone.  It was so cute!  :)

Capuchin Monkeys

Does anyone else just adore these monkeys the way I do?!??!  I love watching them as they interact with each other!  They are awesome the way they care for each other!  And watching them play together is obviously so entertaining!  :)

I love the look on this monkey's face!  I don't know what he saw when he was looking up, but he sure does look disappointed.  Hahahhaa!  :)

There are two things I want to point out in this picture.  The first being that this monkey appears to have dirt or something worse all through his hair.  The second being that this monkey is glaring at me like I did something wrong.  Hahaha  :)

Baby Elephant

I fell in love with this little baby elephant as soon as I saw him!!  I don't know how old he actually was or what his name is, but he sure is cute!!  I loved how he was doing everything that the adults were doing!  He was trying so hard to fit in with the group!  Haha!  :)

Elephants

I really love elephants!  They are so big and impressive!  This one seemed to be much older than all the others at the zoo.  It's eyes portray so much wisdom, memories, and experiences.

Rhinoceros

I think Rhinos are pretty cool.  To me, they are like a remnant of animals from an age long ago that is nearly forgotten.  They always seem so calm when I see them.  This one was just munching on some grass.  I know that they can be quite dangerous in the wild, so I certainly wouldn't want to be around them when they are mad!

Amur Leopard Pacing

Last week was a sneak peak at some of my pictures of this beautiful Amur Leopard!  This week you get so see even better ones since this cat decided not to take a nap while I was watching him.  :)

Javan Gibbon

I always love seeing mamas with their babies.  I love watching how they act on the instant of protecting their offspring.  For this gibbon, instinct tells her to hold her baby close, and not let go, no matter who else is around.   :)

Monkey

I am not sure what type of monkey this is.  It resembles the De Brazza's Monkeys from yesterday, but this looks enough different that I assume it is a different type of monkey.  Regardless of formalities, it looks like a fun monkey to hang around with.  :)

He stuck his tongue out at me.  Hahaha :)

De Brazza's Monkey

There is something about these monkeys that makes me feel like they are always serious or stern.  I think it is the white beard that gives the illusion of age and therefore of wisdom.  But then upon closer inspection, I realize that I think that monkey is hold a Cheetos, and then I no longer think of it as being so serious.  :)

Orangutan in a T-Shirt

I know I already posted pictures yesterday of Orangutans, but I couldn't leave out this guy in a tee-shirt!  :)

Orangutans

These are some of my favorite pictures of Orangutans, including some recent ones I took at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo which show the newest edition to their group, baby Asmara!  I love the energy and wisdom that always seems to be present when watching Orangutans, even when they are just eating some pumpkin.  :)

Amur Leopard

I love cats so much!  I know I say that all the time, but I really do enjoy cats!!  This of course includes all the big cats too!  I am always so interested in watching them because this generally leads me to notice a way in which they act similar to my house cat, Penny.  :)

Gorilla

I find the shear size and strength of gorillas to be intimidating, but to watch them from a distance at a zoo is always interesting to me.  I thought it was kinda funny that this one was chewing on these sticks.  I suppose it must have tasted good to it or something.  :)

Ring-tailed Lemurs

I am in love with watching these Lemurs!  I especially love the baby lemur twins!  They are so tiny and cute!  Their mom still hides them, but not as much as she used too which means I can get some great pictures of their adorable little faces!!  :)

Kisses!!!  Hahahaha :)
