Western Lowland Gorilla.
Had a lovely day at Bristol Zoo today with Bazza! 
VERY hot but really pleasant all the same.
These Gorillas are facinating creatures, the power in the male "Jock" is immense, I took over 70 pictures of them!

Fantastic Dawn, both the creature and your work, love the third one it looks like a shy knowing smile.

Good stuff, that's Bazza eh? 
...oh, oops, misread it, that's Jock! Really nice set, bloomin' hot with all that fur in this weather but he doesn't look too bothered...

I was thinking Bazza too! )
Immense characters in those faces - Bristol zoo.... I last went there in 1985! I think at the time the gorillas were the only thing seeing, I'm sure it's improved now though.
