Did anyone else see the baby Baboons in the Prospect Park Zoo? I thought they were adorable. I can’t believe there hasn’t been more talk about them.

Not yet, but I think I was there when they were conceived. No so adorable.
Don't get me started

Oh, and this is not even close to being in Park Slope.
...not that there's anything wrong with that.

i saw them and loved them!

prospectparkzoo, i know some of the animals have signs on the windows that say "please don't tap on glass, it frightens the animals." why not all? it's disconcerting to see tons of ppl banging trying to get the animal's attention--like the gorgeous pallas cats. the child we were with was overwhelmed by the banging.

also, is the glass a one way mirror? we can see animals but they can't see us?

i was there last weekend, it was gorgeous. i love the kookaburra
what would you tell me, if i could hear you speaking?--t.r.

The Pallas that you mentioned could clearly see me when I was taking his/her pic the last time around - he wasn't happy with my presence (no, I wasn't banging, tapping, or anything ) -

Well, s/he was looking dead at me with whiskers quivering in a growl.

baboons are monkeys. I never knew that until 2 days ago.
