Do Monkey's Really Like To Be Encountered?





I took the photographs above and to the left this past Saturday afternoon when I went to the Denver Zoo.  It was Labor Day Weekend, and the zoo was packed with families taking their children to see all the animals.  The children - and their parents - seemed to be having a great time, but l'm not so sure the monkeys were enjoying it quite as much.  Apes and monkeys are highly intelligent creatures and are the ones most likely to realize that they are locked up and doing life without parole.  The Black-Crested Macaque in the photographs seems to be showing a bit of irritation, and perhaps even hostility, toward his admiring fans. Kind of like Alec Baldwin encountering the paparazzi.
