San Diego Safari Park, Escondido, California, USA. A young gorilla spent a great deal of time thinking about all the things he could be doing if the hammock was not so comfortable.
Very special capture with an original title, Thad. This combination has made me smile. Perfectly done, thanks to your keen eyes and your photographic skills!

Yeah, like taking photos of that guy hanging upside-down from the barrier fence, the guy with all the zoo people screaming at him. Oh, you didn't? Okay, never mind. Neato shot, Thad!
Really, though, he looks exactly like he's contemplating something... whatever it is that runs through these guys' minds. I once watched a gorilla walk up to a glass wall where a woman was sitting (on the other side, of course) and sat down. Her back was to him and so didn't notice him until he sat a few feet away. She smiled and put her hand flat on the wall. He raised his arm and covered her hand with his. This image is as cool as that one was.
