Taken at Twycross Zoo, UK. Found in the vast lowland forests of central Africa, the western lowland gorilla is by far the most widespread and numerous of all gorillas. However, this subspecies of western gorilla is coming under threat as timber companies move into the region. And as forests are opened up by the timber companies, hunters move in. The commercial trade in bushmeat is now an added threat to these gorillas and other forest fauna. Ebola hemorrhagic fever has also emerged as a new threat (WWF, 2008)
Apenheul, a zoo in Holland. This Primate centre is fantastic and I would totally recommend it. If zoo’s can all go this way in the future it will be a definite positive for our captive friends.

Such a beautiful and awesome creature, I used Mandala form to send a prayer for him and his kind… when I look in his eyes it brings me to tears… I will be doing a portrait from the Melbourne zoo soon.

This was shot at Bristol Zoo behind glass,I just love his expression….
Baby Gorilla Hasani riding atop one of his surrogate mother gorillas takes a glimpse out at the world through his glassy eyes. His biological mother rejected him when he was born but Hasani seems to have adjusted to his new life. A life that will some day lead him to become a powerful silverback, king of the jungle, and all the responsibilities that comes with that title. But for now, Hasani seems content and carefree the way babies of all creatures should be.
