Inspired by a few other Zoochatters decided to give this a go.

Take one photo of any ape or primate.

Rules : -

- You have to have taken the picture yourself.
- Has to be in a zoo.
- Needs to be posted in this thread either by a thubnail or URL.
- Please write a brief discription of the photo when you post it.
- Only one picture per person.

All entries must be in this thread by 7Pm on Monday 20th September :)
 
Ack, I am so torn between three :mad:

Ahhh well, here goes nothing: This is my shot of Puluh, the breeding male Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) at Chester Zoo, Realm of the Red Ape 2010.
 
Here is a family group of Guinea Baboons at the Kansas City Zoo. Notice the baby hopping along.

Black-Capped Capuchin at Pouakai Zoo, near New Plymouth, New Zealand.
Not quite sure how to describe his expression, but I think he does have one! What do you guys think?
Taken 24/6/2007.

P.S. I really like Javan Rhino's orang photo, thats an amazing animal and a great shot!
 
RING TAILED LEMUR -

This was taken at Dudley Zoo in Lemur Wood on 10th September 2009
It was a bright morning and the Lemur was the only one awake in a small group
huddled together by the pond

Well done LeeMac a great contribution to Zoochat
 
All great shots so far keep them coming. I was very tempted to upload a pic myself but didnt think it was right lol :)
 
Hi... This is our wee Capuchin Monkey "Murph" telling our cat to move from the best spot infront of the fire... I know the photo is not "in the zoo" but our house is in the zoo... hope that counts? If not can I re-enter another photo of one of our many monkeys here at Pouakai Zoo in New Plymouth.
Thanks Fiona:)

I'd like to enter my avatar photo, of Padang, at Chester. The file is held on an old PC, so I can't upload it, but the link to the larger photo in the ZooChat gallery is here: Padang.
 
Well that's it folk the competition is now closed. Thank you to everybody who entered some really great entries. I will be placing a poll in the next couple of hours for you all to cast your vote. :)
 
Well voting has now closed and we have a tie for the winner.

Joint winners are Javan Rhino with his picture of Puluh and Reevesie and their picture of a Squirel monkey well done to both of them :)
