Description This is the first photo on here of yesterday's trip to my favorite Zoo of Cincinnati home of my favorite White Lions of Timbavati that were soooooooooooooooo unactive that day *grumbles* grrr lazy lions LOL anywho gotta love this old guy too ^_^ he always has such a personality that makes you wonder what he is thinking. Here is another photo of him [link] one of my much older photos from my first year in photography class


I'm pretty sure this is Colossus. He was born in the wild in 1966 and died 9:30 am on April 11th 2006

"Colossus, one of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s most beloved western lowland gorillas, died at 9:30 a.m. on April 11, at the Cincinnati Zoo. The 40-year-old silverback gorilla died during a medical procedure at the Zoo’s Animal Hospital. A team of veterinarians, animal care staff, and human dental and cardiac specialists were called in to perform a root canal on a broken canine tooth and to perform a routine physical examination, including a cardiac evaluation. While under anesthesia, Colossus went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived."

I dont know if its just me, but the picture doesn't seem so sharp. Not sure if it was the focusing or post processing

love the rest of your gallery though.

This is an older photo of mine most likely taken with a 135-400 sigma which isn't that sharp especially compared to my new 300 f/4L IS. As soon as I get some more Gorilla shots this will most likely go to my storage.

the lions were lazy when i was there too. we didn't get to the other half of the zoo, so we missed the apes and elephants and such. but we did go into the petting zoo.

I'm loving your recent animal photos, they are all amazing!

Gorillas...my favourite apes. Much more impressive than orangs or chimpanzees. Haven't been to many zoos that keep Gorillas. Until a short time ago, there were none in Austria at all. Now there's one zoo with four young ones. Too bad it's rather far away from my place, has to be a longer day trip but I definitely want to see them.
