Hi all,
hope i post something that is posted very seldom. Not easy to find even in Zoos .
We have a pair of them in our, in the past we bred them once .
I spent today two hours with these guys sitting in their enclosure trying to get a decent shot, for various reasons not easy to get.
First they are very tame , too tame for the most part. They checked me out for the first 1/2 hour by sniffing ,gently biting and searching for food in all of my pockets .Tried to climb me while i was sitting in the dirt………..!
Other problem was the light at the location , the area is shaded by large trees and there is only light coming through like beams of sunlight , so high contrast all over.
All the time they were moving and looking for food.
Finally i managed to get some acceptable portraits , really like their personality.
