Sunday Selections # 192
Welcome back to Sunday
Selections!
This once-a- week-meme
was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, as a way to showcase some of
the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs.
The rules are very
simple:-
1. post photos of your
choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title
2. link back to me,
River, somewhere in your post
3. leave me a comment so
that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted.
4. hop on over to TheElephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos.
I usually go with a
theme for my Sunday Selections and this week I'm featuring the monkeys at the Gorge Wildlife Park I visited with two friends back in June.
These photos are of eight different types of monkey and I don't remember which is which for most of them. The first is the Cotton-Top something-or-other...
Ah! Cotton-Top Tamarin.

Now we have photos of the other ones, I forgot to take photos of the signs, so I don't know what I have here. One is a Japanese Macaque, but which?

That is a darling little one, that last monkey.
ReplyDeleteI do love to watch animals play - and that smile says a lot. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...photos of my relatives!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Monkey as far as the Chinese Zodiac is concerned. Hmmmmm.....
Have a good week ahead, River...cuddles to Angel. :)
The white faced one looks extra cute.
ReplyDeleteLove those little cotton tops, we have them here in Perth Zoo and you can walk into the enclosure and sit and watch them. They only open it for short periods and only let a couple of people in at a time. On saying that, they may have stopped the process, as we did it a few years ago. I need to go back and check. I love monkey and apes and always make a bee line to see them. Haven't checked out the Adelaide Zoo so next time we are over there, I'll add it to the list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing xxx
What glorious creatures! I'm quite fond of monkeys. :-) x
ReplyDeleteJoanne; isn't he just the cutest thing? He was so happy, you should have seen the leap when he jumped back into the tussling.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I was glad to see the smile; too often contained animals look sad.
Lee; photos of everybody's relatives! I'm a dragon in Chinese astrology. Angel has had lots of hugs this weekend, he's been really smoochy.
Andrew; I think the cutest is the smiling youngster.
Kakka; the monkeys are amongst my favourites too, I spend a lot of time by their enclosures. These photos are from the Gorge Wildlife Park out Cudlee Creek way.
Cassandra Louise; long time no see! I love monkeys too and have quite a few of the stuffed toy variety.
What wonderful shots of those animals, all of them so different but adorable. That wee smile seems to say it all doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI head on the news of a tiny baby monkey being hand reared (it may even have been at our Perth Zoo) and it was so gorgeous. Nice to have them as relatives isn't it?
Thanks for sharing.
I love that last photo too - he looks just like any little boy sitting in a playground, smiling and having fun.
ReplyDeleteThey do look sad sitting behind bars.
ReplyDeleteMimsie; I didn't get time to visit the Perth zoo when I was there and now with Angel I really can't travel. I would imagine the animals are similar, just different styles of surroundings perhaps. These moneys were at The Gorge Wildlife Park.
ReplyDeleteJackie K; exactly! Just like any bunch of kids anywhere.
Delores; I don't like to see them behind bars either. But so much natural habitat is gone these days. Still, the cages are very large, the animals have plenty of room to move around, unlike many years ago when they were more confining and without greenery.
