The monkey exhibit is by far one of my favorites. I could have stood there all day taking pictures of them (but wasn't allowed)...like these two. The white one just lounged around (even rolled over) while the other one picked/ate bugs off of him/her. Hannah and Emily thought that was disgusting. I tried to explain to them that this is an affectionate thing to do. That lead us into a discussion as to whether these two just like each other of if they "like-like" each other, so I just dropped the conversation.
Or how about this one checking out the other's butt:
Or these two. The one in the water was pushed in by the one on the rocks. It was funny because I wasn't watching them when I heard a splash and a monkey screeching.

The one on the rocks doesn't even seem to be bothered by the screeching one. Made me wonder what kind of a relationship they have: sibling, rival, dating, spouses, etc.
The monkeys also make me sad because sometimes they look like they are not happy in their envrionments. I know the zoo is a good thing, but their homes at the zoo can be nothing compared to their real habitats...so...is it good to keep them in captivity?
