LHPJ's Ape Girlfriend

No, that is NOT me!!

Cole took a particular liking to Jon. This was still during our ape and monkey encounter.

Shananagans

Our third and fourth encounter occurred simultaneously, with Cole the ape and Jake the monkey. We sat around a table and they played around us and on us. We could touch them and play with them, but we stayed at the table and did not restrain them in any way.

More pictures will follow soon of this encounter.

Prairie dog encounter

This was probably the least "exotic" of our encounters, but still good nonetheless.

Lemur in the sun

One of the lemurs stops long enough to get pet by Vik.

Lemur on my head

Somehow I ended up in the corner under a barrel, but the lemurs still ended up hanging out on my head.

Perch for a Lemur

Jon during the lemur encounter. The lemurs didn't stay in one place for long. They bounced around on the trees, on us, and all over the place. They liked to hang out on our heads and shoulders.

Amazing Exotics

One of the coolest things I've done in a LONG time was go to Amazing Exotics, about an hour north of Orlando. I am pretty impressed with what this place does. It is devoted to animal rescue and rehabilitation, education to the public, and animal husbandry. It is not open to the public except through guided tours. We did the most extensive tour, which included 4-7 animal enounters and lasted about three hours. The day we went, we were the only people there (other than staff, that is).

This particular pictures was from our first encounter with two Lemurs. More lemur encounter pictures will follow.
