Photo of the Day #844: Gorilla

Category: MammalsPhotographyPrimates
Posted on: February 4, 2010 6:45 AM, by Brian Switek


A female lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), photographed at the Bronx Zoo.

A note about "Photo of the Day": I recognize that this daily feature has not been as exciting lately. I often visit zoos, museums, and other places rich in photo ops throughout the year, but during the past several months my opportunities to do so have been limited. I have therefore had to mine my stores for miscellaneous photos from previous trips which I have not posted before, but I am hoping to get back out to take some fresh shots sometime around my birthday at the end of the month. Thank you for your patience.

I sat and watched the gorillas at the Bronx Zoo for awhile several years ago. I remember one male whose countenance & behavior left me with the conviction that he was clinically depressed.
