Take your time when you go to a zoo. Go alone, or with other photographers. You have to concentrate on these animals to be able to shoot at the right moment. Before you go, try to learn about the behavior of the animal you want to shoot. This gives you a better chance to predict how they react. In case of primates: don't stare in their face. Don't smile at them. Both are signs of aggression and or fear. If you want to connect with a primate, simply hide behind your camera.
