Trotters animal park

To Trotters animal park near Keswick this afternoon and where we became completely entranced by various lemurs and gibbons. The latter, in particular, seemed like little people as they walked on hind legs across their enclosure.
They appeared to be a sociable species...until one grew bored of grooming the other and tried to bite his playmate. Yes, just like little people.

Happily the only thing between ourselves and the jaws of six gibbons was an electrified fence.
