Gladys Porter Zoo 2010 - I thought that I was about to witness an escape

I thought that I was about to witness an escape as somehow the young gorilla climbed up the wall and got hold of the branch. I expected to see it get out of the exhibit any second, but the branch broke off before it managed to pull itself out. Take note of his fellows sitting in the water below him, especially the one to the right as his face says something like "Is anyone looking?" I sure was and had a great time watching this scenario.

Very unusual to see gorillas sitting in water like that.

And here's another reason for you to go down to Brownsville. They do this frequently and our late Snowleopard in his summer thread even reported having seen one diving from up on the rocks and into the water! Remarkable to see!
