A Trip to Blackpool

The worlds smallest monkey, can't remember the name of it. It was sat on a honeysuckle branch, and the flower in front of the monkey is honeysuckle, so it should give you an idea of how small they are

A few more pics to follow

A Pelican about 4 foot away from the camera. I have a pic of one about 2ft away.

Thanks Black Angel just wish I could of got more shots of the gorilla, but all the children wanted to see him, and it was very busy.

the rodent is a capybara. I like those as well.
Shame you couldnt get more of the gorilla, they are great to watch. We went to a zoo in Germany and inside was a female just sitting watching us go by. Made you wonder what she was thinking and what she thought about us humans stopping to stare at her. Quite a thought provoking moment. Another thing that took us by surprise was the eye contact she gave, normally animals dont like to do this but she kept eye contact with my hubby which he found uneasy. It didnt matter what was happening and who went by, the female gorilla kept her eyes fixed on him and i had to drag him away as he kept staring back lol
