Description
This became my special friend at the zoo. There is a monkey house at Kristiansand Zoo that gives you the opportunity to get very close to a lot of cages, and some monkeys that are allowed to run around. This one really really wanted my slush-drink, and to say hello. I got to pet it, and share my drinkRelated content

You have to love the little marmosets...i got six of these fluff balls at home and they honestly think the are people...but if they get spoilt they can be quite vicious - one breeder i know nearly lost his ear when he tried to seperate his female brood into two different cages (they only have one alpha male and one queen per troupe...none of the others will breed if there is already a queen)

I would spoil a primate rotten... But I think I'll just stick to cats.

It's hard not to love them. Even at times when it would be best not to

This is great, i love the expression and cropping of the shot The only thing is you've focused on the monkey's hand instead of his face, which i think would have been nicer to capture the expression in his eyes

I was trying to capture this monkeys face, but it was impossible... They just don't keep still for 1/100! All the pictures with focus there failed But at least I got this nice one

Ah! *grabs heart* So precious! I love the stereotypical "picture of an animal" then there's this straw, and it totally takes you out of that stereotype, which is wonderful. EXCELLENT picture!!!!

They let you feed the monkey with artificial flavoured drink?
It's so cute though, I'd feed it anything it wants.

They don't let you feed them, but this guy really really wanted my drink and went for it! He knew what he was after, that was clear.

Beautiful expression. The focus might have been nicer on his face, though that would've made the picture less intent on your interaction.

Those little buggers don't keep their heads still for a nanosecond either. I really tried to take a picture with focus on it's lovely face, but I didn't manage.

Baboons are really scary! Chimps too. I'm glad this was just a small one, no bigger than a small kitten.
