Joel Sartore and the Chimp Incident

If you ever get a chance to hear PhotoArk photographer Joel Sartore speak, you should jump on it.  He's a great storyteller, and years of traveling the world to photograph animals has given him lots of material.  There are two primate stories that he especially likes to tell (I mean, three if you count the Peruvian photo shoot that left him with his hair full of monkey poop).  One is of the "Chimp Incident" at the Sunset Zoo, when the super-smart primates felt the need to remind him of how uncooperative they can be.

    

The second was of Kanzi, the bonobo... the only animal to take a photo of the world famous animal photographer!  Kanzi seems to have done a pretty good job, too
