I saw this black and white interesting animal when I was at the Amsterdam zoo with my husband this past March. My first glance at this animal, I thought, I’ve never seen anything like it before. The tail is long, hairy and puffy, unlike any other animal that I’ve seen. And its hairstyle is black and standing up over its head wild like a mad scientist, the face resembles a person’s face but with black and white painted on it, like a mask. It had intriguing small paws, raccoon looking paws, which also looked like little human hands. The animal was jumping around up and down and across almost bouncing on the trees and from tree to another tree easily. By the way that the animal looked at me, I could tell that it was interested in me too, and when I stared into its eyes, I also saw that he/she has a personality. The animal followed me along the trees until the area ended. How truly astonishing, it is that we are blessed with plenty of diversity to be surprised and delighted, by within our paradise.
The photos were taken at Artis Zoo, Amsterdam, Holland, 3/2018.
