Face to Face with Gorilla Gaze

I just love their faces, their hands their similarities to humans. I also like their funny knuckle dragging.

This one and I shared a moment, a gaze. Wish I had thought to put my hand to the glass.

What amazing eye contact, such a powerful portrait.

Such a powerful gaze !

They always look so sad to me. It is as if they know their situation and want to trade places. Magnificent portrait though.

I always hope that gorillas are happier than they look - if only he/she could speak.

I know what you mean - when they actually look at you and appear to be thinking! Not the same as a dog looking at you!
