Photo of a young Western Lowland Gorilla. If your first thought is that these are human eyes – think again. These are GORILLA eyes – the intelligence, emotion and sentience all belong to the Gorilla. I try and show in my work that each species is made up of individuals with individual faces and personalities. Appreciate our similarities with these animals, but celebrate our differences.

This is a young, female Western Lowland Gorilla. She was sitting by herself in the late afternoon when she suddenly turned to look towards me and I caught her fleeting glimpse on camera. Gorillas are amazing, beautiful animals, just as individual and thoughtful as ourselves. I want my Gorilla images to show both their similarities with human beings, and their unique differences.

Taken at Adelaide Zoo, South Australia, when we had a pair of gorillas there. They have moved on now to other zoos. This image featured in Black and White Photographers United in September 2009. Many thanks! And featured again in Eye Contact in September 2009. Thank you so much!

This Western Lowland Gorilla and her baby son was shot from 100 feet away. All I wanted to do was get closer. It was starting to rain and she moved into the entrance to her shelter. I consider myself lucky to get this shot.

I was fortunate to be able to get several great photos of gorillas at my last trip to the zoo. This one was only a few feet away from me, just sitting, thinking. With a slight grin on his face, I have to wonder what his secret is. This is a lowland gorilla, and like all the great apes, is an endangered species. Drawn in charcoal on bristol vellum, 2008. Original 13”x17” available.

Gorilla Oil Painting on canvas (40×40cm) When I first saw this gorilla, I was immediately struck by what I perceived to be sadness. He looks so deep in thought and I wondered what this beautiful creature was thinking… of family lost, freedom lost and what we humans do in our endless arrogance and greed to other animals on this planet. I hope that one day, we will realise that they are just as worthy of life and freedom as we would like to believe ourselves to be. I love painting eyes. However, what I like about this painting is not being able to see the gorilla’s eyes. His posture tells the story. This is a close-up view of the painting. Gorillas, the largest of the living primates, are ground-dwelling herbivores that inhabit the forests of Africa. The DNA of gorillas is 98%–99% identical to that of a human, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the two chimpanzee species. Gorilla’s are highly endangered, and have been subject to intense poaching for a long time. Threats to gorilla survival include habitat destruction and the bushmeat trade. In 2004 a population of several hundred gorillas in the Odzala National Park, Republic of Congo was essentially wiped out by the Ebola virus. A 2006 study published in Science concluded that more than 5,000 gorillas may have died in recent outbreaks of the Ebola virus in central Africa. The researchers indicated that in conjunction with commercial hunting of these apes creates “a recipe for rapid ecological extinction”.

Another of the beautiful Majestic animals on the Critically Endangered list, with about 100,000 of these Western Lowland Gorillas left. I love the dreamy pose of this shot, maybe dreaming of a peaceful world where his relatives are not getting slaughtered in the wild by poachers. Canon 50D, 800mm (400mm + 2x Tamron). This one was about 60 metres away. Available Large!

by Krys BaileyI’ve never been a huge primate fan (apart from Lemurs) but these Western Lowland Gorillas (gorilla gorilla) at London Zoo have given me a new found respect and fascination for their species, and indeed their plight in the wild. This big girl is one of two amazing critters who nobly endured all the gawping and snapping from us human beans ;o) Interestingly, a human girl toddler seemed to be the only one who captured her interest!

Western lowland gorillas are endangered, but they remain far more common than their relatives, the mountain gorillas. They live in heavy rain forests, and it is difficult for scientists to accurately estimate how many survive in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. / Female gorillas give birth to one infant after a pregnancy of nearly nine months. Unlike their powerful parents, newborns are tiny—weighing four pounds (two kilograms)—and able only to cling to their mothers’ fur. These infants ride on their mothers’ backs from the age of four months through the first two or three years of their lives. Information source: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com
