We saw this guy at the zoo.  A great thinker relax­ing in the warm Autumn day.

I began to won­der what he was think­ing about.  Per­haps he was going to give us the answers to world peace because if you didn’t know goril­las are largely peace­ful crea­tures. It seems King Kong got it all wrong, which is weird because I get all my sci­en­tific & his­tor­i­cal infor­ma­tion from movies & if movies are wrong.  Well, I’m not sure what to do.

Then he did this.  And I thought ya know maybe us & these goril­las are more alike us than we’d like to admit.  I mean I was wait­ing for him to reach for a news­pa­per & go into the bath­room for 45 minutes.

Great pictures! Gorillas certainly creep me out. Maybe it was just because the ones I saw at the Bronx Zoo (when I was 12) were having a bad day and throwing pine cones at people. Peaceful when people aren’t angering them…but I guess you could say the same for people! :)

There was something about that zoo and agitated animals. Later that same day I saw what I think was a Bengal Tiger lift up it’s leg and pee on some tourist that was standing close to exhibit. The funniest thing I had EVER seen!
