A pondering and pensive gorilla - as well he might be. We shall not be satisfied until we've destroyed all life on the planet.

That's a shame, you will have to re-post them all Pratim.

I DONT WANT TO BE ANOTHER " DODO " ... GORILLA .... MIXED MEDIA ... 10 INCH* 10 INCH.... 2015 ... Gorillas constitute the eponymous genus Gorilla, the largest extant genus of primates by physical size. They are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Africa. The genus is divided into two species: the eastern gorillas and the western gorillas, and either four or five subspecies. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of a human, from 95–99% depending on what is counted, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees (including bonobos). The eastern gorilla is listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List, with the mountain gorilla listed as Critically Endangered.The western gorilla and its subspecies are also listed as Critically Endangered.Threats to gorilla survival include habitat destruction and poaching for the bushmeat trade.(INFO:WIKIPEDIA)
