Description
this gorilla has an area all to hisself because he wants to fight any gorilla that has been put with him. he pays attention to children when they are near the glass windows. there were these two plus2-3 more. he likes to play tricks on them. when a little boy went around a corner to another glass the gorilla hit the glass and I was surprised the little boy did not pee in his pants. he ran straight his momma.
the pictures are not very good because of the reflection of the glass, but I wanted to share them any way. thanks for looking and comments.

I'm glad you shared them. This is such a magnificent animal! It is depressing and very sad to see them in captivity though. They are social animals and they normally get depressed when alone... Thank you for sharing this beautiful creature with us!
Magnificent animals and not bad despite the window, thanks for sharing.

He could be Chicago. "The city with broad shoulders."
I like the spontaneity of your work Richard and somethimes end result is not quite what you'd like it to be, but nevertheless, a very fine capture indeed Sir. Steve :o)
The reflected faces is a priceless shot Ray! Wow!!
WOW! What awesome photos! Talk about up close and personal...that Gorilla looks so big!! Thanks for sharing these!
Superb captures. A very powerful gorilla! Excellent work, Richard! Thanks for sharing!
Maybe I would pee in my pants? I would be a bit scared at least! You can even see the reflection of the children's faces, so they seem to be a bit "shooked" up or scared! Thanx for sharing!
Aha how sweet Rich^^ , the gorilla photo on the left bottom seems really sad...
Uncle Dan has never looked so healthy--I'm glad to see he's given up smoking..we miss sitting with him on holidays,he used to have his own tire to sit at..oh how he could toss the turkey ! I think the reflection here actually HELPED the set of images--fine work..and tell my uncle "whoo hmmm hhooh oo hooo hooooo"
Great composition ! Nice shot of the gorilla!!Excellent Richard!!
Excellent photos -- I love the gorilla and the reflections of the kids are pretty effective. Too bad that this guy doesn't play well with others ... probably has something to do with being in captivity. Some of us just don't like that. :-) Well done!
Awesome photos, such power, I would not want to be in a zoo, saddly it may be one of the few safe places. I love the reflections of the children, inspired. Sometimes the illusion of freedom is all you get.
What a fantastic picture and love the narration. What a ownderful place to visit. HUGS Maria
Excellent image very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How adorable!!!!
Superb shots, Richard. He is a magnificent creature. I feel sad that he looks so sad.. Hugs and na night. Di
I know about how impressive this Gorillas behind glas can be!!! I have seen them in Stuttgart/Germany in the zoo and they frightened me really when they hit the glas!!!! But I feel also sorry for this sad looking giants, we took them out of their world and made them to prisoners!!! Thanks for sharing! Hugs Ute

Beautiful collage and so impressive captures !!! Bravo :)
Fantastic ! Love the one with the children.
