322.366: Or rather impressed as in a "not bad" expression? This is a portrait of a Siamang monkey at the Milwaukee County Zoo. These particular creatures have an inflatable throat sac which they use to vocalize through using a series of booms and barks.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Free monkey breath, what a deal, and I got about 8 packets of it. They did it because they apparently lub you.
This Tiny monkey was right in this beam of light. I loved the feel it gave the little guy. I have now discovered that this is not a monkey at all, but actually a Cotton-top Tamarin. Shot during a wonderful day at the Birmingham Zoo with Duncan (nailbender).
At the monkey sanctuary on Miyajima, the monkeys are free to go wherever, so you can get right up close to them. There were eight baby monkeys there when we visited.
This juvenile has sadly lost its right hand at some time.
These monkeys were common in the park and were clearly used to people.
Though this is officially a national park, it is really more for swimming etc. than for the animals. It is very crowded with day trippers and is apparently one of the two most visited such areas in the country - but few go to see the animals.
