Exploring Animal Depression


I visited the Denver Zoo yesterday to have a "Giraffe Encounter," but once again the giraffes refused to be encountered.  I therefore walked around the zoo and took the photograph above of the Black and White Colobus. As I have mentioned on this Blog before, these monkeys appear to be VERY depressed and the Denver Zoo has obviously not taken my advice to feed them Valium or some other mood enhancing drug. Being locked up for the rest of your life is obviously a pretty depressing prospect, but these monkeys seem to be especially down.  Perhaps if they don't want to put drugs in their food, the Denver Zoo could let visitors take these monkeys home every weekend to cheer them up.  What could possibly go wrong?
