In his usual sleeping position.
Great shot!

This species really is a King among its peers when it comes to sleeping in ridiculous positions.
 
I saw one out of the 'den' corner on my last visit! Lying on its belly with its legs splayed - and still fast asleep.
Surely they should try to find room for these animals in the nocturnal house: they are far more nocturnal than the sloths or the fruit bats and their current exhibit is not very nice.

This has to be one of the best shots i've seen lately! Where are these kept? Didn't see on last visit 3 years ago, wouldn't want to miss them when i go this summer!

They are in a small house on the edge of the Macaque enclosure, next to the new ponds and Amphibian house.
 
Haven't seen these guys yet. Haven't really looked to be honest. We might go in a few weeks depending on the weather.
