Pertinax chilling

I think that Pertinax seems much more contented since he has been separated from the three young silverback bachelors. He has put on a lot of weight and seems very relaxed. The keeper talking to the public yesterday explained things very well: he can still see, hear and smell the others through the mesh, so he is not isolated, but he does not have to watch his back all the time.

A nice close-up that shows his 35 years.

@gentle lemur Its the first time he's had to deal with living with other silverbacks, rather than younger males. He evidently didn't like it.
