I waited for a while for this monkey to raise his head so I could photograph him grooming his buddy. But right after my patience paid off, he saw my camera and got up to walk up to the glass separating us. I am guessing he saw his reflection in the camera lens and that was intriguing to him. Regardless of the reason why, I was of course thrilled that he was so interested in me!
There are a lot of various monkeys at the Cincinnati Zoo! When I was taking pictures of the Bonobos, Joe asked why I was taking pictures of the one that was peeing on the rock. I said I wasn't, but then I realized that yes, yes I was taking pictures of the one peeing. Ahhhhhhhahaha!
I included this first picture even though it isn't very good because within moments of walking into the aviary, I felt poop hit the top of my head and it definitely came from one of these two. I honestly wasn't that upset. But I'm like 99% sure that the only other time this has happened to me was also at the Cincinnati Zoo when I visited there in high school with some friends. I could be wrong and the first time was a different zoo. I was frustrated this happened because the poop smelled fishy and I could smell it on me the entire rest of the day until we were finally home and I took a shower. The rest of the birds were neat though and none of them pooped on me. Haha!
I loved seeing so many different types of penguins, and I thought it was so neat that they were together! It really helped to see the size differences between them since they were all so close.
