Contemplation by Teresa Burnett
Taken at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. / The Lion-tailed Macaque lives only in the Western Ghats of South India and is endangered. / The Lion-tailed Macaque is a diurnal rain forest dweller. It is a good climber and spends a majority of its life in the upper canopy of tropical moist evergreen forests. Unlike other macaques, it avoids humans. / The Lion-tailed Macaque ranks among the rarest and most threatened primates. Their range has become increasingly isolated and fragmented by the spread of agriculture and tea, coffee, teak and cinchona, construction of water reservoirs for irrigation and power generation, and human settlements to support such activities. They don’t live, feed or travel through plantations. Destruction of their habitat and the fact that they avoid human proximity, has led to the drastic decrease of their population.

The Cookie Monster by Teresa Burnett
These little characters reside at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington. They stay very close to a building where parents park their strollers to wander inside the building and look at the exhibits (no strollers allowed inside). While the strollers are unattended, these fellows scramble all over and under the strollers, looking for anything edible. I have seen them open lunch boxes! This guy got lucky!

Nina Says.....I Only Have Eyes For You by Teresa Burnett
Nina is one of only two remaining wild born Western Lowland gorillas at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. She is a grand old lady somewhere between 40 and 50 years old and she is wonderful! She has a fantastic sense of humor. She will sit looking so stoic for a while, then all of a sudden she will stick her tongue out and make faces! I just adore her! The Western Lowland Gorilla is a subspecies of the Western Gorilla that lives in montane, primary, and secondary forests and lowland swamps in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Adult male Gorillas are prone to cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart disease. Babec, a Western Lowland Gorilla on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama (USA) was the first gorilla to receive an artificial pacemaker. Binti Jua, who resides at Brookfield Zoo in Illinois, saved a three year old boy who fell into her enclosure in 2003. / The Western Lowland Gorilla is critically endangered. The gorilla is vulnerable to Ebola, deforestation, and poaching. Canon Rebel XTi – Canon 70-300mm lens / 131 views FEATURED:CEE’S FUN ARTSY FRIENDS GROUP 11-18-09 / / FEATURED:EYE CONTACT 11-20-09 /

ZOOPHORIA’s main purpose as a group is to showcase the beauty of all God’s creatures, great and small, found in captivity.
If you have a fabulous zoo shot you’ve been dying to show off, this is the best place to do it. This group is full of people who just can not get enough of the zoo! Zoophoria by defintion is a feeling of Zoobulation felt by a photographer or artist while visiting the zoo.
We want to see your best work only. This may include creatures as small as a ladybug taken at a botanical gardens, or a huge as an elephant at your local zoo. The main focus of the art must be on the animal. Many types of animals may fall into this category: amphibians, birds, primates, reptiles, fish, etc.
This group has many talented photographer’s and artist, so join the group, browse around, give our artist some positive feedback in the comment sections. Our group has a very active participation in group challenges and contest. You can see our list of competitions in the Forum area of the group. We also have an area for general discussion if you would like to add a topic. So, come on in, stay a while, and join the fun!
