Great shots and I love the Gorilla sat on the logs

Thanks - It was just one of those days that worked out really well...

I love the low aspect on the Rhino's and the up right Gorilla,
looks like something out of planet of the Apes

(He didn't have a horse with him by any chance? )

The Rhinos were running to be fed... Their keeper (standing near to my left) had called them... It was the shot I was looking for so really happy about it..
This was the only Gorilla I saw to stand up the entire day so was just lucky about it... & I think he was looking for the horse...lol

... I think he was looking for the horse...lol

Its obvious now you mention it

TBH I've never seen one stand like that,
they are always slobbing out and chewing something

Apparently Port Lymphe is fairly famous for its standing gorillas... - but I didn't know that until I went there...

Every day's a school day

I wont say they look a little blue to me, as my monitor isn't calibrated
Good selection of poses there, but I love that Rhino shot
