what I love about these species watching the real mother and child relationship (which some humans have lost) so much love between them. I can watch them for hours without taking a shot.
Krys Bailey replied
I didn’t get the kissing shot you did CeeJay but I’m fairly pleased with this (unlike the Marwell carpark staff – I just mailed a letter of complaint today).

Wonderful capture Krys, and wonderful show of affection.
The coloring on the juvenile is gorgeous, almost looks like a different animal.
