On a Limb [Contest Finalists May 2010]
Uploaded: November 12, 2009 03:54:33
At the Lied Jungle Omaha which is part of Henry Doorly Zoo. Moments earlier, the baby was getting ready to go "solo" (see photo in discussion thread), then mom pulled her back to her side (this photo). About 20 seconds later, Dad stopped by to ensure the baby was doing OK (also in the discussion thread).
This Lied Jungle is the largest of its kind in the world. Covering 1.5 acres directly inside the main gate, the Lied Jungle has 123,000 square feet of floor space with 61,000 square feet of planted exhibit space, 35,000 square feet of display management area and 11,000 square feet of education space. The Lied Jungle is 80 feet tall, about the same as an eight-story building.

You captured some wonderful moments here Ken. I find primates so fascinating, because they are so human like. It sounds like they have the most fantastic place to live their lives in captivity. It's good to see. #8125404Carla Metzler November 12, 2009
