The John Aspinall Foundation, which runs Port Lympne and its sister zoo Howletts, has a gorilla release programme. They have a good record for breeding the Western Lowland Gorillas in their charge. We watched a couple of bachelor boys. One kept groaning - or was it grunting - or growling? Something beginning with gr- anyway. The other was sporting a new style of hat.
Are you sure they are gorillas? I thought they looked like former members of the Bush Administration, who might be practicing for their new "roles" behind bars . . .
ReplyDeleteI can't bring myself to watch this vid....gorillas (and monkeys/apes of all kinds) just creep me out.
ReplyDeleteThey look so powerful,even when they're sat doing nothing :-)
