This is a reworked version of one of my favourite Gorilla shots. She’s just a gorgeous animal, and I was always thrilled to get such emotive eye contact and posturing.

Western Lowland Gorilla at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Portrait of a Silverback Western Lowland Gorilla native to Africa. This gorilla is on the Red List of endangered species, and has been moved from the endangered list to the crtically endagered ist. The Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is a subspecies of the Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) that lives in montane, primary, and secondary forests and lowland swamps throughout all or parts of Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Of all gorillas it is the gorilla usually found in zoos. A male Western Lowland Gorilla can stand 6 feet tall and weigh almost 450 lbs. The Western Lowland Gorilla eats plants and, occasionally, insects. They live in family groupings consisting of one dominant male, 5 to 7 adult females, children and adolescents, and possibly a few non-dominant males. Adult male Gorillas are prone to a particular form of cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart disease. Babec, a Western Lowland Gorilla on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama (USA) was the first gorilla to receive an artificial pacemaker. The Western Lowland Gorilla is the most widespread and common gorilla, but is classified as Critically Endangered because its population had declined over 80 percent in 10 years.[citation needed] The Western Lowland Gorilla is critically endangered due to the Ebola virus and their main predators: man (poachers) and leopards.

This was amazing to watch, I walked past them a few times during the day but this Mum and Bub pair were always hiding, on my way out of the zoo they were out for a stroll and was lucky enough to get a few snaps! Lowland Gorillas are critically endagered in the Wild, Taronga Zoo in Sydney have had great success with there breeding program so far, with several youngsters born in the short time they have had them. One of my favourties!
Mouila is one of Kibabu’s hareem :) at Taronga. I am putting this pastel I did of her back onto redbubble, to celebrate the arrival of a baby gorilla at Taronga. Human indifference, ignorance and the taste for “Bush Meat” threaten these poor guys.
