A Holy Monk

I journeyed to a perilous mountain top to seek the council of this spiritually enlightened monkey. When I got there he refused to speak. At first I was disappointed and banged my walking stick against the ground. I explained the dangers I had braved simply to learn his wisdom and plead with him to take me as a student. Still, he spoke not. Eventually, after weeks of yelling, cajoling, and crying I gave up. Exhausted I sat down next to him. I began to understand....

Ripped Monkey

Look a the the definition of this Monk's biceps. I don't know if I've ever seen a burlier beast.

Ring Tail Lemur

One thing that was especially awesome about the Austin Zoo was that many of the Animals there were rescued from bad situations or even confiscated in drug seizures. This lemur didn't have an explanatory plaque to describe how he came tot eh Zoo, but I can only assume he was involved in some SERIOUS CRIME. I don't think he was a bad guy, just that he likes to live life on his own terms. I figure he was a pretty genius con-artist, but now he's in the big house... for the time being.

Hard Time

I've gotta be straight with you. Some of the monkeys at the zoo looked a little depressed. This dude was a "Patas Monkey." The sign said they could be aggressive, but he just looked bummed-out. He had a little stuffed animal that he always carried with him.
