The females of this species aren’t so much white cheeked as they are… well… just white. Except for those spots on the face. You know, those spots where all the expressions and relatability are. I probably could have brought this one up a bit more, but that rock and the nice melty background would have gone overexposed a little too fast. So I guess it’s not really Vin’s fault this time.
Vin shares Gibbon Island with her platonic life partner Briscoe, and she can often be seen peeing on zoo visitors who think that standing directly under the lesser ape 10 feet above them is a smart thing to do. Brisco, like the other males of the species, is all black save for the taxonomically implied white cheek, making photographing them together one of the great photographic challenges in all of history.
