Oh, My Aching Ears!

Uploaded: May 14, 2004 07:48:57

Description

Bronx Zoo, NY. When a large group of young children entered the Congo Gorilla exhibit, this guy covered his ears. They were so loud, you couldn't even hear yourself talk. He kept his ears covered until they eventually moved on. These animals are so human like and so intelligent, it amazes me.

Great capture Karen #127826

Terrific shot, Karen! It always amazes me how obnoxious and loud the kids are when they are in large groups like that! Often seems like the wrong species is in captivity!!! #538673

Excellent shot Karen! #538885

Stanley J. Contrades May 14, 2004

Have to agree with Marie in that this is a terrific shot and he/she is probably more than happy not to have to live with those kids!!! Very nicely done and displayed, Karen!
Aloha,

Thank you, Ronnie, Marie, Casey, Stan, Shirley and Donna, for your comments. I'm sure they were all relieved when the noisey kids left the area, I know I was. ;} #540333
