GIBBONSThis gibbon was

brachiating through the branches of the exhibit. He was following the action of the other gibbon. It looked

as if they were playing a game of tag.

GIBBONSGibbon hangs from wooden post and makes loud calls to the other gibbons. A bubble formed under its mouth that filled with air and allowed it to make a super loud noise

that riled up the other gibbons.

CHIMPANZEESHere is an unclear photo of some

chimp mothers at the Chimpanzee Penthouse. The very young looking baby chimps were slowly crawling

or knuckle walking to their mothers.

HOWLER MONKEYSThis picture was

snapped immediately after they finished allogrooming each

other.

GORILLASIn this photo, two female

gorillas sit far away from the front of the exhibit and eat some greens. During their

meal, one gorilla decided to start grooming the other. The

grooming did not last long once they continued to snack on

food again.

GORILLASThis large, male gorilla

looked to be the silverback of the troop. He sat there

munching on some leaves while a group of children

were making noises at him to get his attention. He sat

there calmly for a long time.

There were a couple baby chimps at the chimpanzee exhibit that were traveling

on the backs of their mothers after playing by themselves. No matter how the mother chimp climbed, the babies

could always hold on. Whether the mother was upside down or up very

high, the chimps seemed very comfortable embracing their mothers.

CHIMPANZEES

A zookeeper tosses red bell peppers down and the chimps simply stuck their arms out to catch as many

as they could. The primates would bring

some peppers over for younger chimps to eat.

Here is a photo of some chimpanzees pursuing shelter because it started to rain.

Some chimpanzees decided to stick around to collect the rest of their red bell peppers. All the mother chimps took their

babies into the cave immediately as it began to rain.
