I do not think that I have gone to the zoo to watch primates for even more than just a few minutes of time before today. So I will share a couple thoughts I had while doing so.
They behave incredibly human-like. Even though most of the ones I saw were pretty much just snacking or sitting/lounging around, they really gave off the vibe of humanness almost constantly. It was a little unnerving at first but nothing annoying, really.
Their eyes are so similar to human eyes that their pensive, distant look really lent to them seeming quite intelligent, even though I really have no idea what their various levels of understanding were at all. It certainly added to their presence and in some cases their feeling of dignity, despite being confined to a cage in a zoo.
I had a good trip with some other observations about less interesting things. I look forward to my return trip there at some point in the future.
