Mountain Gorilla, Mgahinga National Park, Uganda

Sometimes a simple headshot works best. This handsome guy was one of three silverbacks we saw in a small troop of nine mountain gorillas. That’s an unusual amount of adult males in such a small troop, but they are all related and thus, get along just fine. At least, for the time being. Eventually, one of the younger males will challenge the older alpha for reproductive rights. Photographed in Mgahinga National Park in Uganda. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/2.8 at 1/400th of a second.
