Crazily enough this guy wasn't even a part of an exhibit. He was just chillin out wandering around the park the same as us.

Bats are super sweet in general, but bats with enormous testicles are on a whole nother level.

It's a pretty impressive level of annoyance when you're able to make a sloth pissed off at you. Nice work Monkey boy.

I think these guys were Lemurs or something like that. There faces and movements were so odd that it's really hard to fully bring across. One of the beauties of the "Bio Park" is that in many places the animals are just kind of wandering around freely and you can buy food and feed them by hand, allowing for a much more in your face experience. A bit weird at times but overall an amazing way to do things.

A pro/con list of being a lemur and chillin out at the food vending machine. Pro: Whenever a park visitor buys food to distribute you're first in line. Con: Those same park visitors might get a little intimidated by your close contact and kind of sort of be afraid that you're about to jump on them and bite and scratch them and infect them with rabies once they do procure said food. Just try and tell me those things don't look disease ridden.

The guy on the right there was just kinda chillin away from the action. I'd never really given Lemur depression too much thought before, but now I'm kinda worried about it. I mean he just really looks like he's kinda given up. Sigh...

Definitely amongst the raddest of living things. Wouldn't want to run into one of these things in a dark alley (if I was like three inches tall that is).

I think someday I'll have an entry of only bug sex pictures. This was not the only one I had from this trip. You'll just have to wait...

One of these guys broke wind under water about two seconds after this photo. It was gross.

It's so hot over here these days that even the African rhinos are uncomfortable. Not a good sign.

The Lesser Panda. Not quite as rolly polly as it's Greater cousin, but nearly as cute.

Dear parents of the world: Want to freak out your kid? Put some monkey food in its hand in a pen full of small, agile, agressive primates and wait for the inevitable. Good times.

It's intense when there are regular fish that are bigger than you. The amazon is a weird weird place.

These monkeys were out there posing on the ropes for me for like five minutes. They would seriously look over at me and be like, "Okay, you ready, I'm gonna walk across the rope now. Is your camera on? You sure you've got the right setting? How many Mega-pixels is that thing? I don't perform for less than 5."

Okay, so this is not actually in the Bio park at all, but a bridge going out to Oshima later that evening. I just like the picture. Nice symetry and whatnot.

Also not at the Bio Park. On a little detour on our way home, this little guy jumped out of our car and proceeded to hop in front of our car for nearly a quarter of a mile. Definitely the second weirdest rabbit/car experience I've ever had.

so so so so so rich and full, now really photography has started to be
popular, the small "Osterhase" at the end brings everything in respective again. I like the photo with the bridge. It is like a big alpha.
