Whimsical Zoo Animal Photography taken through glass of a Lemur in the indoor viewing gallery at the Welsh Mountain Zoo, Conwy, UK. There is a funny story behind this portrait of lemur curiosity.

The child was , coincidentally , eating a snack of cheerios out of one of those mini cereal boxes totally oblivious to the world around them , however , the same could not be said of our observant Lemur. As he kept an eye out while enjoying his food he spotted the child , and most importantly seemed to recognize what she was munching on and instantly jumped from his snack station onto the window sill and with paws pressed tight to the glass peered intently at the child and the cereal with an accusatory glare that did seem to say , "Are you eating MY Cheerios?" said lemur hopped from side to side still looking as if trying to work out if it could come out and steal his snacks back until the mother wheeled the child away , still completely oblivious of the mayhem she had caused.
