Description
I never really saw myself as a Gorilla person (that sentence reads rather oddly, but anyway..) but this Gorilla was so.. awesome? It literally sat there pouting away at my camera.. (there were like, 30 people trying to take photo of it, and it stood right in front of me [I'm look nothing like a Gorilla, before you even go there ]) and it was looking right into my eyes. I felt a sense of connection to it..
After taking like, 12 photos of it, I lowered my Camera and gave it a wee nod and smile. It then rolled over to it's side and started pouting in a new position. (other pic in gallery.. or is currently being uploaded).
I really felt sad about leaving it. I think I could've sat and stared at it forever.
It did make me feel sad that a creature with such intelligence is cooped up in an enclosure (although saying that, it was rather big.. but still...)

I realise how crazy/imaginative I sound may sound.. but it's what I saw happen!

Taken in Asia, Animal Kingdom, Orlando, Florida
