Smithsonian Zoo Monkey

Tori, Kayli and Sydni (click to see it close-up)

During a recent family vacation to DC, we spent some time at the Smithsonian Zoo. It's become our favorite closest zoo considering the North Carolina Zoo is located about an hour and a half from us and once you get there you basically need to walk outside for another hour and a half to actually see any living animals.

While at the zoo in DC, we were fortunate enough to capture some rare documentation of a monkey in the primates exhibit building. We are told that this species of monkey can have sporadic behavior and it is hard to know what to expect when in the presence of such a rare species! After observing her for a while, I'd have to say that assessment is correct! :)
