Leaving the humid warmth of the Tropical Rain Forest Aviary
to the world of Primates. The Red Ruffed Lemurs were out--at least for a little
while. Lemurs are such interesting animals and like any animal patience is a
virtue. The Ring-tailed Lemurs were not out, but I include a photo of their
exhibit because it's simple lovely, too. The Colobus Monkeys were out, but it
had begun to rain a little and so I didn't terry long enough to take a pic. The
Western Lowland Gorillas were represented and you could view them from the
dryness of a covered shelter. I had only just learned two months earlier that
one of the Woodland Park Zoo's gorillas was in Washington, DC at the National
Zoo to be bred with one of the male gorillas there. If successful, it would
represent the second newborn gorilla for the troop at Woodlands Park in as many
years.
