This is the first time i really appreciate toronto zoo. Me and my friend (camille) went there to capture shots of different animals and plants.. the weather is nice.. not too hot and not too cold to roam around the zoo, and that is another reason why I enjoyed staying at the zoo for a few hours.. But some of the animals are hiding in their houses and some are sleeping and these doesn't hinder us to take different angle of shots of their beauty.. :)
The monkeys are native to South and Central American forests. They are famous for their loud howls, which can be heard up to three miles away through dense rain forest.[2] Fifteen species are recognized. Previously classified in the family Cebidae, they are now placed in the family Atelidae. They are primarily folivores but also significant frugivores, acting as seed dispersal agents through their digestive system and their locomotion. Threats include human predation, habitat destruction, illegal wildlife trade, and capture for pets or zoo animals._4135549-for-web
These live in the South American Viva walk-though enclosure which opened this year and is really excellent.
