Monkey & Gorilla House

Clearly a favorite, the Monkey & Gorilla House at Brookfield Zoo is always filled with visitors, each looking for that expression or movement which make these animals so interesting to us. Here are a pair of images, one small and one large, from a recent visit.

King of the Treetops

While the Lion is considered to be King of the Jungle, and while I coached enough Lion teams to agree with that, the Gorilla is clearly the King of the Treetops. And from the look of this great specimen, he knows that!

Gorillas

Among the more impressive animals at Brookfield are the gorillas. Here one yawns while preparing for a nap or waking up from one, while the biggest one sits high in the tree watching the watchers who are watching him.
