Big bad Bokito
More than a year after his breakout, he's still 'the talk of the town'. Being a volunteer at the Rotterdam zoo, I still get questions about him nearly every day I'm around. His name is just familiar to everyone, everywhere. Even when I'm in a different zoo, on the other side of the country, I still hear his name...
But anyhow, this picture was taken when Bokito was just having a little quarrel with his family. He was a little bit pissed of and staring at the public who had gathered in great numbers (it's always a spectacular sight when a 180 kilo monkey is raging around in his enclosure, isn't it?). I managed to get this shot under difficult conditions with a very low shutter rate...
Oh, and in the end? They all sat down together and ate their dinner...
