Ringtail pair

The Miller Park Zoo had recently received a pair of these small mammals.  Mostly nocturnal, I had the good luck to photograph them on an overcast day.  One was very interested in what I was doing, while the other was a bit more reserved.  Taken late in the year, but one of my favorites for 2015.

Very cool, John.  The one in the bg adds a lot to this image.

My first reaction was, "How cute."  You've got some fine warm colors here, John and great details in the front Ringtail's face.  The setting with the second one in the back adds a good sense of place and behavior.
