This is Congie, a chimp in the olmense zoo in belgium(a wildlife park).his father trows with mud on people when there are allot of children or if he feels endangerd by a man bigger or larger than him.
here's some info about chimps:

Pan troglodytes
Endangered
The chimpanzee lives in the rain forest and savannah of equatorial Africa. Chimpanzees are typically 1 to 1.7 m tall and weigh 40 to 50 kg. They have light-coloured, black, or blotchy skin, and large protruding ears.
Partly because of their intelligence, these animals have been used extensively for scientific research. In 1961, the chimp Ham orbited the earth in a rocket, preceding human astronauts. The demand for live chimpanzees for zoos and research has led to a significant decline in their population.
Chimpanzees eat plants, ants, termites, and occasionally meat. They live and travel in small groups, communicating and expressing their moods with a variety of hoots, grunts, roars, and screams. They apparently delight in their own sounds. Chimpanzees have also demonstrated the ability to use and make tools, share and cooperate for the common good, express complex emotions and communicate using sign language

good view of this young Chimp. It is good to see such a good image of one of the great Apes who need so much protection from us their closest relative.

I thought I was looking in the mirror! That's how I feel on a monday morning! Great capture and excellent note. Well done Kirsten.

Points tomorrow.

Kirsten, Hey, I thought I was looking in the mirror! That's how I feel EVERY morning!! ;-) Great shot with good detail & light. Looks like you've got his attention! I favor these things & wondered what it would be like to have one as a pet..Think I should trade my Lab in for one! ;-))

Please have put down a portrait of me younger on TN. Never I would have dared to make it myself :) but that reminds me good recollections. I spent my childhood near a zoo. I indeed say near a zoo, not in a zoo!
Beautiful well composed, a little bit dark photo maybe. A well seized moment. But what could he thus say to you?
Thank you

Good pose, well captured. I'm always surprised to find portraits of me, I will send this one to my mum.
Well done

He is definately looking at you and has some thoughts about you as well. The sharpness and DOF is good, but I love the expressiont that you captured in his eyes.

Well done and thanks for posting

Sweet and cute, just a picture from you, I like it very well, Kirsten!
