King Kong may live at the Denver Zoo!! Luckily this BIG guy was on the other side of this thick glass. I had never seen a gorilla up this close. I am impressed! Not sure how much he weighed, but I am guessing 500-700 lbs. Pure muscle!! He was checking out the people as much as the people were checking out him. I can safely say that I will not ever go into the Congo looking to find gorilla’s in the mist!! This photo is close enough for me! LOL
Reminds me of a former boss. Nice shot, Pete, and I agree, the zoo is the only way I’d ever want to get that close to one of these guys!
That’s one of those shots of our mamamlian cousins that makes you wonder what he is thinking
I think he was bored…prob wanted to get outta there! LOL
He is very impressive!!
Nice one Pete, don’t know how I missed this one. These creatures are fascinating to watch, it’s almost like they read your mind
