Young Theropithecus gelada chasing each other around the enclosure, and hurling themselves off the high platform.

Yes, not a great photo (apologies for the blurriness and reflections), but I thought it was quite interesting. :)

Its actually a great action shot- you could be forgiven some blurring at the speed they are going. Their body attitudes and expressions are well-captured though.

As I see can another tail in the background, I would guess there are currently at least five(?) young/juvenile animals in this group.

Thanks! :) They were pretty speedy!

And yes, five sounds about right, although there may possibly have been more - here's the five I saw anyway:

I've mentioned on here before I'm not a fan of this enclosure- its very ugly/unnatural but obviously the Geladas don't mind at all- they seem to be doing very well with them now. How many in total do you think at present- a dozen? That's probably the maximum it can hold I would think.
