I think I recall from my zoo visit here that they're often lion food in the wild...that would make me grumpy! I also love his moustache!
Great capture and info! :)
wonderful image!
very good shot of him
Fabulous shot of the old coot monkey with a mean face and mustache amongst the wonderful jungle flora, Dana!
I believe that animals - apes especially - tend to show precisely how they feel with a look! I adore that sort of honesty! Hence, I find him beautiful to look at and I'd invite him to share my space in a heartbeat. Super capture. ^=^
Beautiful nature shot
Very beautiful scene , Dana !
