  I am not vegetarian... Therefore, gorilla, You can eat comfortable your celery...
Maybe you are so beautiful, exactly because you are vegetarian...
I will think about the subject!
Another picture that "provokes" me...
This photographer makes me to talk with gorillas, birds, tigers and others...
Congratulations, photographer... And I also thank for this capacity that you "include" in your pictures!
