Awkward Moments: Gorrila Mining for Gold

Leave it to me to capture such awkwardness. I thought he was just chillin' out. Resting. And here he was picking his nose. Talk about comfortable and not caring what anyone thinks.

Anyone else ever capture such candid awkwardness at the zoo or otherwise? Any nose picking selfies out there?;-)

Happy week, friends...glad to be back today.
@adamj This reminds me of something that you would catch:).

You win the prize, have never seen a gorilla with its finger buried up its nose. Fabulous.
May 27th, 2014  
Never knew they did that, great photo!!
May 27th, 2014  
Great photo Amanda, it took me a while to make out what it was.
May 27th, 2014  
a, they do all sorts and they can be as prima donna as humans, too. long ago, we took the grandkids to the local safari and there was a bunch of apes who climbed on our van. one just flattened his face against my sjde of the window when he saw me with the camera. wouldn't leave for a long time but i just refused to take a photo. when everyone else got off the vehicle he climbed on to the hood in front of me and rubbed his butt on the windshield after which he put his finger in his butthole and ran away. the grands although grossed out were so amused they remember it to this day.
May 27th, 2014  
LOL. Thanks for the early morning smile.
May 27th, 2014

Oh, so funny. I love the lounge too but the nose just takes it over the top. Great capture.

Yes, to the awkward zoo moments! Once, a giraffe taking a leak. Another time a gorilla who was very happy to see his wife (on a school trip, thank goodness the kids didn't ask any questions!) Anyway, this guy looks quite content!

There are those who believe man evolved from the apes. I not being one of them. But there are times like this when I wonder! ツ
