The guy with the soulful eyes

Had to photograph this Colobus Monkey at the Calgary Zoo through an absolutely filthy, scratched window! Consequently, there are blurry patches all over the place. There is just something so amazing about their facial expression - always seems to be the same. This one was sitting right near the window, just staring at me while I took my shots.

"At one time the Colobus was hunted excessively for its beautiful fur, leading to its extermination in some areas. Its skin has been used to make dance costumes, hats and capes. Today, the greatest threat to its continued existence comes from loss of habitat as forests are cut down." From www.awf.org/content/wildlife/detail/colobusmonkey.
