Some of you might remember this black-handed gibbon from Borneo, also known as the agile gibbon. He was quite curious — perhaps because he thought that I had something to eat in my camera bag. I was able to get several shots with my wide angle lens. These gibbons live in the same range as the Bornean orangutans in Tanjung Puting National Park. Tomorrow, I’m off to a much different environment — Yellowstone for the weekend for a little winter wildlife photography. It’s been a while since I’ve been there in the dead of winter. Here’s hoping I return on Tuesday with a decent wolf photo or two. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/500th of a second
Thanks Amanda. This guy was very fun to photograph because he was fearless around me and my guide. I liked the way the background blurred out into all those circular blues, greens and browns.
I’m in Yellowstone currently, and I would keep your hopes in check on that wolf shot. They have been mostly out of sight, or around a quarter to half mile away the last few days. It is currently snowing and more expected through the weekend. I’m in Gardiner tonight, then Cooke City for four nights. Black truck, fourteen on the back.
Keep the faith. I got in mid day and did a quick drive thru from Gardiner to Silvergate. Didn’t see much, other than bison all over the road and the occasional elk. There’s always tomorrow. I’ll look for your truck. I’m in a wildlife-scaring red Chevy SUV.

Hey Sean, if you can, please find out from wildlife biologist Rick McIntyre if Wolf 755 was successful in finding a new mate.
He lost his first mate and brother to hunters when they strayed outside the park in Dec. 2012 or thereabouts.
I’ve been curious to know what happened since I visited the park last winter and wrote about it. If you’re interested, see http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/travel/destinations/four-reasons-why-you-want-to-see-yellowstone-right-now-wolves-coyotes-bison-and-no-crowds/article15675179/
Thanks Suzanne, I’ll take a look. And I’ll ask around when I see the wolf people.
