These little monkeys are quickly becoming one of my favorite exhibits at the zoo. They’re tiny, neat looking (I’m a guy so I think it’s against the rules or something for me to call them cute.), and usually very active with lots of jumping, chasing, and running around.

I especially love their exhibit at Brookfield, which is our regularly frequented zoo in the area. Just over the walkway railing, right out of reach is a habitat where you can find them, but they also are able to climb the tree and across some vines to several little houses that are above the walkway! No nets or fences to obstruct your view (Or picture taking) of the little guys!

I’m hoping to be able to purchase a 70-200 2.8 L IS this summer, and if I do I’m going to make a special trip just to get some good pictures of these little guys!

(There is a sign asking people not to use the flash in the building which I strictly follow so I think the 2.8 should work nicely.)

Thanks for looking!

Nice shot, he or she has some intesting coloring.
