Western Lowland Gorilla

Description

I'm not good at recognition yet, but I believe this is Gladys!

The gorilla is the largest living primate. A gorilla must spend most of its day eating plants to maintain its large size. Despite its massive size and ferocious reputation, the gorilla is actually a peaceful and social animal. Gorillas and humans are close relatives, and share many things in common. They are very intelligent, have emotions and personalities, and live in family groups.

Here are some cool facts:
-A troop of up to 20 gorillas is led and defended by a dominant male called a silverback.
-A male gorilla has the strength of up to eight men.
-Chest-beating is one way a gorilla shows that it’s excited.
-Gorillas and humans have the same number of hairs on their bodies.

This is a really nice photo!

I love how you got the picture when the gorilla was looking at the camera. However, I've seen quite a few pictures with gorillas in a pose similar to this, so I wouldn't classify this as original, but great nonetheless!

The background looks nice as well, but I bet it would've looked better if it wasn't as blurry. Luckily, it doesn't make the picture bad; it's just something slight that needs to be worked on! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>

Overall, a great picture that just needs some minor improvements to be perfect. I'd give this an overall rating of ~4.0 - ~4.5 stars! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="366" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
