On Labor Day we went w/ some new friends to the Seattle Zoo. It always seems to me, the animals are either sedate or hiding, but that you can always find one or two that are really enjoyable to watch. This time for us it was this orangutan. He followed Dan around the exibit (because he was eating peanut m&ms) and as Dan offered him a m&m the orangutan asked....it was much funnier than I'm describing b/c they communicated for a while. Dan finally threw him a corn nut and he caught it and plopped in his mouth and asked for more. Me, I was petrified we were going to get slapped w/ some $10,000.00 fine....argh! But all was well, and Dan and the monkey put on a good show.I got this close-up shot w/ the Grizzly b/c there was glass between us.....very freaky to be this close....if not for his very big teeth, he looked friendly:)

Wow. Dan is just a good communicator with everybody, isn't he? It's that ORU training -- they have a reputation for this kind of thing.
