In zoo Schmiding lives a bachelor group of gorillas. These social organizations are typical for lowland gorillas in nature. If a place in a harem is free - for example when an old silverback dies - then a male moves up from such a bachelor group. This happened in winter of 2008. At that time moved the chief gorilla of Schmiding to the zoo of Blackpool (England), where the gorilla women waited on the new harem boss.
And now there are also youngs.
Fabulous portrait of a fabulous animal - terrific focus on those eyes (hard to do black on black) and I enjoyed reading about the way life goes for a harem of gorillas. Love the education you get here. Fav

Thank you, Caroline, for your love comment! Thank you for your understanding. I feel impolite if I do not personally dedicate myself a love feedback Currently, however I lack leisure. You are so nice. I would like to be more personal. My English is not good either.
Thank you all for your so nice comments!
I beg your pardon, I'm doing a collection comment. I would like to make it much more personal. I hope my warm thanks is still felt somehow.

Thank you, Madeleine, for your suggestion! I tried some shading and decided ultimately for this.
