Lowland gorilla, Jock

Silverback. Gorilla Island, Bristol, August 2008.

Good photo

Thanks for portraying this creature with Soul and Dignity.

What a wonderful photo, thanks for that, I agree with dbyrd, a sense of quiet magnificence.

Great photo!

Nice portrait!

He is a very impressive Gorilla, and this is a great photo

If you want to see another Gorilla that looks just like him, go on Flickr Gorillas and find La Palmyre Zoo. One male there 'Bongo' is his full older brother - they are extremely alike...

Been to La Palmyre before, but didn't know that. Thanks for the info, and it's great to hear all the great apes there are getting larger enclosures.

jock and his brother Bongo are very distinctive looking males with their long faces, and they also both resemble their father Balu who was originally at Apenheul before he went to La Palmyre.

This is arguably the best Jock photo of all- gentle Lemur does it again!


















b is a very distinctive looking male
9and his brotheri've seen lots of photos of jock, and taken a few myself too, but this is probably the best one of all. Gentle Lemur does it again!
