ZOO Obervations !

When we visited the zoo, I took the time to observe the GORILLAS! The name for these primates are Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla, it seemed as if though the primate recently gave birth to a young because it came to sit by the window while it was holding a young child that was sleeping at the time. It was funny because they hold their babies the same way that humans do when rocking the baby to sleep. The other female gorilla was laying down about ten feet away, looking at the mother with a face of joy and excitement as if though it were happy to welcome a new life into their family. Now, the big male was up on a ridge laying down just sunbathing and napping as if though it were very tired. He rolled around of couple of times and looked up at us, but then he just put his head back down and continued with his lazy activities of just laying there, doing nothing, just a big 'ol ball of fur in one spot. But when I got a good look at the faces of the primates, they had very similar features and it really stunned me how closely similar we are to the Gorilla, Orangutan, and Chimpanzee.
