We spent a day in Kristiansand Zoo this holiday, and of course my Pentax was at hand. First we met a rather aggressive parrot:

A squirrel monkey in deep thoughts:

The lemurs are fascinating...

Thanks, Conky and Matt.

Parrot: f/5.6 1/350
Monkey: f/8 1/500
Lemur 1: f/8 1/45

The parrot was shot with the 18-55 mm kit lens, the others with the Sigma APO 70-300 mm

Thanks, Darlene

On second thoughts, maybe he wasn't posing, just enjoying the sun. Lemurs are known to be great sunbathers, so we were told anyway.
Best regards
