I have to expound on this a bit. One of the first times I went to this zoo, I walked into the great ape house, and like everyone else, I stared at the Chimps, Gorillas, and Orangutans behind the glass. Then I turned around and saw a large planter box, with trees and such. I looked a little closer and found these guys. They are not behind glass or caged in, they are just hanging out in the planter. Since then Ive continually tried to get images, but people, seeing you pointing a camera at a tree, turn and start looking and pointing. Problem is these little fellows are somewhat shy, and take off with all the sudden attention. This happened again today. Im still not satisfied with the results, Ill just keep trying.
