Looks like he/she has noticed you. Good shot of this unknown monkey.

That fur looks to be as soft as the softest cat I ever stroked or the neck fur on my border collies. When I was in my early 20's I rather spurned zoos, decrying the conditions of the exhibits with typical young adult "enlightened condescension". Now I realize that zoos can help keep animals from succumbing to extinction caused by the dubious activities of Man. Your photo and well researched post puts it into proper perspective.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

Very good B&W and it never ceases to disgust me about the hunting for medicine properties, so sad. I'm glad you were able to catch a click of this cutie. tigs=^..^=

Lyn, it is still a pity for me that the BWC no longer proved to be viable.
The remarkable phenomenon, however, is that my B & W submissions got far more viewers than my color photographs.
This seems to be a contradiction, and I haven't a clear explanation about that.
You've provided us with a nice B & W photo again. Creates nostalgic feelings to me. Thanks anyway!

It looks great in b/w LE. Perfect memorial for the b/w challenge.
