Part I

• A good look at a prehensile tail.

Part II

• Orangutans grooming

Part III

• The male Red Uakari very upset I was playing with his woman. Showing his teeth and grunting at me.

Part III

• Here the female Red Uakari was taught to “pet nice.”

Part III

• She was very disappointed that I had no critters crawling on me and looked at me with a confused expression.

Part III

• She’s lip smacking at me, we are friends now.

Part IV

• Observation of human primates from a captive primate’s perspective. They were both curious and jealous.

Part V

• It was difficult to get quality pictures because the primates were very, and especially visibly excited by the presence of a large male. As such they would not hold still for a photo. Also, they do not appreciate being smiled at or stared at, especially with me in their habitat, so the zoo keeper was cautious of me taking too many pictures.
