Also, most times when you can see the silverback he sits with his back to you... and just sits. If you wait long enough he may move so you can get a good shot but it's short lived and he'll disappear out of view. I got good shots today. He sat for a long time but I must admit he looked pretty bored and I could imagine how tough it is to live there no matter how nice the area is.

Silverback Gorilla - The Zoo Part I
The Silverback gorilla is such a handsome animal. Whenever I visit the zoo I have to visit the gorilla camp. Most times it's difficult to get close to the edge to take photos because of how many people are around it. It's actually a beautiful area. The photo below is just one of the four sides of this area.

This is a beautiful enclosure and terrific shots of him 2sweetnsaxy. Thanks for sharing.
He's just so expressive!
I like the picture with his hand on his mouth. Nice photos.
My son said those are so cool. Great photos.
Wow, he is just amazing :-)
Sorry I haven't commented much lately. Been doing lots of bird counts !
Well, I guess there's no doubt as to how he got his name :-)
You got some great shots of the gorrila. I don't think he was bored -- he just wanted his picture taken by a good photographer!
What a character! It looks like he knows he is posing for you! Wonderful!
Awesome! Really awesome!!!!
