This is an old photo from my archives, taken on a very overcast day at the Calgary Zoo, on 17 October 2009! I've had this image in one of my "To maybe post on Flickr" folders ever since, avoiding posting it because it's not a sharp photo. Late last night, I grabbed it .... and here it is : ) Before I took this photo, there had only been one White-handed Gibbon at the Zoo, but then a mate was brought in from another Zoo. I remember all that time ago, I was talking with one of the zookeepers and she told me that the Gibbon was her favourite animal and that soon they were going to acquire a second one. Wish I could remember which one was the original one and which is male or female. Have to smile at their expressions - the paler one looks kind of grumpy, but I guess they always do, ha.
"The Lar Gibbon (Hylobates lar), also known as the White-handed Gibbon, is a primate in the Hylobatidae or gibbon family. It is one of the more well-known gibbons and is often seen in zoos.... As is the case for all gibbons, they have long hands and no tail.... Lar Gibbons are threatened in various ways: they are sometimes hunted for their meat, sometimes a parent is killed in order to capture young animals for pets. The largest danger, however, is the loss of habitat. With breathtaking speed the forests of Southeast Asia are cut down in order to establish plantations, fields and settlements.... Their Conservation status is Endangered. The fur coloring of the Lar Gibbon varies from black and dark-brown to light brown sandy colors. The hands and feet are white colored, likewise a ring of white hair surrounds the black face. Both males and females can be all color variants, and the sexes also hardly differ in size." From Wikipedia.

Yay, I've just downloaded the free Chrome browser to my hard drive, and hey presto, the row of three thumbnail photos below the map area on any photo page now appear. Feels SO good!!! Now I can see what I'm clicking on. My main browser is Internet Explorer and normally it works just fine for everything, but Chrome gave me back my thumbnails : )
Later: not sure how much I like Chrome after all. When I try to scroll down a page, it is very slow and jerky. Difficult to type comments, descriptions, etc., too, as if I pause in my typing for just one second, I get a message saying I can wait for the page to become responsive or I can kill the page (??). The automatic spell check is a real pain and keeps stopping me from typing. Early days of using it, though.
