This one goes out to my friend Erik and all his friends back in Uganda. I had the extreme pleasure of meeting a troop of twenty three mountain gorillas in Uganda back in March of 2009. It remains one of my favorite wildlife encounters and I’d love to get back some day, either to Bwindi in Uganda, or to Rwanda. I was struck by the gentleness and familiarity of these giant apes, displayed here by this female in a very human pose.
