Mind your own business! - a photo on Flickriver

Mind your own business!

Orange white-handed lar gibbon (Hylobates lar) in the Cologne zoo.
[Weißhandgibbon]

One of the many memorable trips was to the Cologne zoo, where I took many photos over the course of a 5 hour walk-through. Certainly I didn't see even a fraction of the over 700 different species on display throughout the terrain, comprising about 10,000 animals altogether. It's definitely worth a visit!

Projected to open next year for the zoo's 150th anniversary is a Hippodome, a spacious walk-in replica of an African river plain, where visitors will be able to see hippos, Nile crocodiles, antelopes, and other inhabitants in their natural habitat.

As for the expression in the photo, to me it says, "Can't I have even 5 minutes of privacy around here?". :) It could just be curiosity though, too, although I think there are enough visitors annually. I must have really stood out for this guy. lol
