Primate House




This Colobus Monkey looks kind of sad, but I don't think he was.
I think he's just watching the people.




This colourful fellow was eating something!
He's called a Debrazza's Monkey.


   


The Sumatran Oragnutans love to play!
The first one made his own bed from a bale of straw and then laid down to rest, and the other fellow is hiding in an old box!


   


These are L'Hoest Monkeys.
While one swung about and played the other sat on the floor and watched.




The Ring-Tailed Lemurs were also hard to get a picture of. They kept running through the tunnel to play outside!
This one came in for a brief moment of quiet away from the others!




Isn't he gorgeous?
This is a Douc Langur.
There was a family of three of them visiting the zoo.
This is the male (I think) eating his lunch.
