If you look very closely you will see that this mamma white-cheeked gibbon is giving her baby a ride! She was swinging fluidly all around the top of this enclosure, with the baby clinging to her like the dickens...and having, from the look on his face, the time of his life. I don't blame him, it looked like a hell of a lot of fun to me. A much better picture of mamma and baby is located here at the official LA Zoo site.
