    Thank you thank you thank you for the photos! LOVE THEM! :) They're gorgeous :)

    Just watched the video and WOW. That is really touching that Aspinall was trusting enough, knowledgeable enough to expose his child to the gorillas. I honestly do not know if I had the same knowledge as him though that I could put my child into an enclosure with a gorilla. Dunno - still thinking on it.

    He does seem to have had some really good luck with his program. My only hope is that once the gorillas are re-introduced they can actually make it and stay alive in the wild. I 'hope' they can but part of me feels that the pressures of modern society are not going to spare them their spot on earth to live and thrive in the long run.
