Description
This is the beautiful gorilla I had such a nice encounter with at the zoo. She came right up to the glass and interacted with us so much. I had such a hard time picking a photo to post of her, because if i made her coat darker, you couldn't see her eyes and if you could see her eyes, her coat looks so light and she looks a little old.
But here she is. She and her mate Lamydoc are the parents of the female gorillas and grandparents to all the babies in Gladys Porter Zoo. What a beautiful legacy......Submitted to *Wonderful-World and *Zoo-photographers

They are wonderful creatures, I would love to see one in real life. Our zoo doesn't have them.

really? what a bummer. katanga and her mate were actually seperated from the rest of the gorillas. i think its because they are older and there is a younger silverback so they need to keep them seperated i'm sure. they are huge. the male was amazing. he climbed up onto this thing in his enclosure and he sat down with his back facing me. he looked so regal and magestic. i've not posted that shot because i didn't think the sky came out that well. and in the main enclosure, it was nice watching them. they are actually very playful creatures. it was nice seeing all the babies playing with each other and their moms. i hope you are able to see a family sometime soon. you will really enjoy it i'm sure.
