Seescapes

What is it about the appearance of snow monkeys that makes them so very photogenic, so pleasing to the eye?

I know almost nothing about them—their behaviors, their proclivities, their talents—and yet I was thrilled to see them at the Detroit Zoo and have a chance to take some pictures of them. (Unfortunately, the photos don’t do them justice—and yet the images [to me, at least] are still fascinating! How is this possible?)

Obviously, since this blog is chock-full of animal photos, snow monkeys are not the only organisms I enjoy taking pictures of. But there are some creatures that just seem inherently aesthetic, and snow monkeys are one.

What about you? What animals are most visually attractive to you?
