This time last week I was photographing this handsome chap in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Bwindi is home to around half of the world’s 880 mountain gorillas.
This is the dominant silverback of the Nkuringo family. He is one of the largest gorillas in Bwindi. As you can see, he was also a cooperative poser!
It looks like he has bumped heads a few times. He is in captivity at the Santa Barbara Zoo. It was later in the day and he was sitting in the shade, which helped with the lighting, but caused me to bump up the ISO to 1600.
These two baby gorillas at Disney's Animal Kingdom were very active when I stopped by the exhibit, but here they're taking a moment to catch their breath before they started wrestling again.

Gorillas constitute the eponymous genus Gorilla, the largest extant genus of primates by physical size. They are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Africa. The genus is divided into two species: the eastern gorillas and the western gorillas, and either four or five subspecies. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of a human, from 95–99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees (including bonobos).
