Baby monkey at the Toledo Zoo. Like the knucklehead I am, I forgot to note what kind of monkey it was. Guess I'll have to go back. :): C&C welcome

    It looks like an Allens Swamp Monkey.

    Head on, does the adult look like yoda a little?

    You are apparently correct. A quick visit to the zoo's website confirms that their Allens Swamp Monkeys had a baby just over one year ago.

    BTW, to me almost all monkeys look a little like yoda. :):

    Cute monkey. Do you have any full body shots or any with more of it's face showing?

    No, I'm afraid the little guy was more interested in finding a way to get to his mother than getting his picture taken. Mom had the same kind of look my mother had during the last weeks of summer vacation. rolleyes1.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Hey Capt. Khaos.. Those are not the same monkeys.. Different species...

    The original looks like a swamp monkey.. your shots are of a Wolf Guenon...

    Photography isn't about the Zone System or any other Ansel Adams nonsense.
    It's simply about seeing. You either see or you don't see, the rest is
    academic.
