When I worked at SD Zoo...I would hang out with the Galaps when I got off work...and I have NEVER seen one get aggressive on a human...somewhere in all my Dad's stuff, there's a picture (or two) of me riding a Galap at the SD children's zoo back in the 60s...also me feeding peanuts to the elephants. Yes...they did that back then.
Now...Aladar is going to be 10 in August. He's already flashed a few times in the last year or so! But, he shows no aggression to the smaller torts...even Climber, who, although only two (and the only other male), is growing by leaps and bounds...and we joke that he's gonna be bigger than Aladar by the time he's 5. Nope! Aladar loves everyone...human, tort and dog alike! In fact, when I put Max out...his first instinct is to go stand guard over all the torts!
