Thanks Doyle, Actually a very nice portrait has also been posted by Shane Brown (which I'm very jealous of...)There seemed to be a special curiousity between the silverback and the smaller of our species. Check it out!http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1086388

Thank you Anne. Primates are a passion for me, my second career alternative was to be a primatologist, but that field wasn't available when I was college material ~grin~ This big boy was most impressive, a real credit to his species. Thankfully more attention is being paid to their existence.

Gracias Alicia. Los primates son una pasión para mí, mi segundo alternativa de la carrera era ser un primatologist, pero ese campo no estaba disponible cuando era el ~grin~ material que este muchacho grande era el más impresionante, un crédito verdadero de la universidad a su especie. Más atención se está prestando agradecidamente a su existencia.

A sad story in many ways. An impressive thoughtful giant you´ve captured there.
Best wishes,
