GIBBONSThis gibbon was
brachiating through the branches of the exhibit. He was following the action of the other gibbon. It looked
as if they were playing a game of tag.
GIBBONSGibbon hangs from wooden post and makes loud calls to the other gibbons. A bubble formed under its mouth that filled with air and allowed it to make a super loud noise
that riled up the other gibbons.
CHIMPANZEESHere is an unclear photo of some
chimp mothers at the Chimpanzee Penthouse. The very young looking baby chimps were slowly crawling
or knuckle walking to their mothers.
HOWLER MONKEYSThis picture was
snapped immediately after they finished allogrooming each
other.
GORILLASIn this photo, two female
gorillas sit far away from the front of the exhibit and eat some greens. During their
meal, one gorilla decided to start grooming the other. The
grooming did not last long once they continued to snack on
food again.
GORILLASThis large, male gorilla
looked to be the silverback of the troop. He sat there
munching on some leaves while a group of children
were making noises at him to get his attention. He sat
there calmly for a long time.
There were a couple baby chimps at the chimpanzee exhibit that were traveling
on the backs of their mothers after playing by themselves. No matter how the mother chimp climbed, the babies
could always hold on. Whether the mother was upside down or up very
high, the chimps seemed very comfortable embracing their mothers.
CHIMPANZEES
A zookeeper tosses red bell peppers down and the chimps simply stuck their arms out to catch as many
as they could. The primates would bring
some peppers over for younger chimps to eat.
CHIMPANZEES
Here is a photo of some chimpanzees pursuing shelter because it started to rain.
Some chimpanzees decided to stick around to collect the rest of their red bell peppers. All the mother chimps took their
babies into the cave immediately as it began to rain.
