Color Me Redder - LP Zoo

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo
The macaque snow monkeys do be
Showing off in their red faced hue
For mating season, "Check out me."
The redder the face the more intent
To find the partner that's just right
And will be best to compliment
Union of ultimate delight.
A ritual done ev'ry year
When it is mating time and place,
And making matches do appear,
And come together face to face.

Snow monkeys pairing up steady.
Mating time - macaques are reddy!
