These lovely creatures are called Elands. I know the title of this photo doesn't fit the picture and this is why. I saw the news this morning, wish I hadn't!!! Some A-HOLES broke into the Zoo last night, they cut open the Spider Monkey Cage, Killing the male monkey and stealing the pregnant female. They were the only two spider monkey's they had. I just can't understand the senseless violence against a harmless animal. I have to say, I cried when I heard this news. I seriously hope they catch this guys and toss em to the lions and tigers, probably they wouldn't even want to eat that kind of filth!! I wanted this to be just about the Elands but I did not have any shots of the monkey's to post. In hearing about this news, I looked up the Website and found out that they have a photography group that gets together and does posters and what not for the Zoo, today I am going to go down and join this group, if nothing else, I hope that my small contribution can help the Zoo provide better facilities for all the fantastic animals that call this place home. If you care to see the website the addy is. www.gvzoo.com Elands, Taken in Aldergrove at the GVZ, B.C.

What a grand shot and a fantastic story so very sad that the world has to have such filth that is given the right to breath the same air we do. Sad that they are able to walk amounst use wish god would put some kind of sign on them so they could be spotted and disposed of before they can do any harm. Great capture of these beauties and hope you were able to get that job and help out I don't have the plesaure of having such a grand place to go to and for those who do they should enjoy and help every change they get reather then distroy.Jacki Bowler 09 May 2008
Lovely Elands, Pamela..............awful, awful about the monkeys. What drives anyone to commit these atrocities is beyond me..............sickening. I'm glad you're able to focus your anger and disgust in a positive way to help the other animals though.Anneke Hut 08 May 2008
