Clinging to Mom

Uploaded: June 20, 2004 12:13:26

Description

Gorillas at the Cincinnati Zoo. Young Cecil was clinging to his mother out of fear - due to the loud screaming and taunting by some extremely rude visitors. 300 mm zoom lens, tripod, 400 speed film, overcast day.

Great shot Marie (and nice capture of the mother's face)! I agree with Paul re the visitors. #606135

Marie Fields June 20, 2004 0

Thanks, Paul and Rob! I agree as well! I get so angry when zoo visitors show such a lack of respect for the animals! If it's just delighted squeals of children, it doesn't bother the gorillas - but in this case, the "kids" were way too old and their voices too deep to be yelling at animals! It really upset Muke and Cecil.

Thanks again for your support!

Beautiful image, Marie. I guess the only real question is "Which ones ARE the animals?"
Very well done! #606762
