Where did you take this Shane? I’m presuming it was a Zoo.
SD Smart replied
Rob – This was taken at the Adelaide Zoo, South Australia.
This was taken from a viewing area where there is no glass in between.
Tom Gomez
Perfect. Do you know that there is a Primates group. I’m sure they would love this picture.
SD Smart replied
Thanks for all your comments Tom. I’ll join the group and add this one.

Out-freakin-standing. And a visitor area with no glass?
? How wonderful for both you and the animals! Makes it almost like a true visit and not a ‘gawk and walk’ like so many places. It’s nice to know that places where the wildlife isn’t wandering about on a range also know how to maintain them in a more comfortable and humane manner. Hats off to Adelaide Zoo. And my congrats on a wonderful capture!

Fantastic work Shane. He has a happy expression which is great to see. Usually the pics I see of primates they are bored or his guy seems quite ok.
