Philadelphia Zoo: Snapshot #11 - PECO Primate Reserve

On my way to visit the PECO Primate Reserve at the Philadelphia Zoo I encountered two of the Western Lowland Gorillas enjoying the sun and some fruit on one of the Zoo 360 Habi-trails.  It was Honi and her daughter Amani.  Nearby the Coquerel's Sifaka were sunning in an exterior habitat and overhead a troop of White & Black Ruffed Lemurs was trotting through another section of the Habi-trails.  The place was hopping!

Then I walk around to the main entrance and discovered that the Ring-tailed Lemurs where super chill, bundling and stretching in the dappled sun on their Lemur Island.  Inside the Sumatran Orangutans were mostly having a lazy morning.  Batu, the adolescent daughter of Tua and Sugi was up and ready to play.  In the large exterior habitat that they share with the White-handed Gibbons, Mercury and Phoenice were enjoying a brunch of lettuce while their boys ran around and disappeared into one of the 360 Habi-trails.  On the other side two of the three adult male Western Lowland Gorillas were also lounging.  Everybody was cranking or chilling on this perfect Autumn day.
