I finally made it over to the zoo. Double D and I had another marathon day of photography with the best luck ever! We found parking everywhere we went. 2x right in front!! Seriously we had no problems. I’m knocking on wood right now so I don’t jinx anything.
This Silver back wasn’t out when we first arrived at their den. One female went inside and soon he came out then sat on a rock and looked out at the people who were watching him. He’s a deep thinker I believe. His eyes are very compelling. There is intelligence behind that gaze.

“The Zoo has one adult male Silver-back, four females and an infant male western lowland gorilla living at the Gorilla Preserve.”
