Carry Me by ApeArt
A western lowland gorilla carries her baby on her arm. We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Apenheul primate park in Holland. Taken with Nikon D50. When young are born, they weigh about 4-5 pounds and are pinkish grey with brown and/or black hair. The newborn gorilla clutches belly-to-belly for close contact until strength and coordination develops. After two or three months, the baby gorillas begin to crawl around and cling to mother’s back, and will walk at 30-40 weeks. Gorillas may nurse up to four years although weaning occurs anywhere from 1-4 years of age. The baby will nest with the mother until around three years of age. Although the mother provides primary care to the young, the male silverback will “baby-sit” his offspring while the female forages for food without the hindrance of the playful young. Silverbacks also may take care of abandoned or orphaned youngsters.

"Licker with Cupcake" Giraffe Watercolor by Paul Jackson
Everything is long on a giraffe; the neck, the legs..and the tongue. Paul Jackson’s elegant creature’s neck leaving and coming back into frame in this painting emphasizes what’s not there as well as the artist’s creative vision. The watercolor is one of a series featuring wildlife.

ZOOPHORIA’s main purpose as a group is to showcase the beauty of all God’s creatures, great and small, found in captivity.
If you have a fabulous zoo shot you’ve been dying to show off, this is the best place to do it. This group is full of people who just can not get enough of the zoo! Zoophoria by defintion is a feeling of Zoobulation felt by a photographer or artist while visiting the zoo.
We want to see your best work only. This may include creatures as small as a ladybug taken at a botanical gardens, or a huge as an elephant at your local zoo. The main focus of the art must be on the animal. Many types of animals may fall into this category: amphibians, birds, primates, reptiles, fish, etc.
This group has many talented photographer’s and artist, so join the group, browse around, give our artist some positive feedback in the comment sections. Our group has a very active participation in group challenges and contest. You can see our list of competitions in the Forum area of the group. We also have an area for general discussion if you would like to add a topic. So, come on in, stay a while, and join the fun!
