Zoo Atlanta is famous for it's Lowland Gorillas. They've had a spate of recent births, and it's great fun to watch the mothers play with and tenderly care for their tiny babies. To me, though, the huge silverback named Ivan is the big draw. He is so incredibly powerful it's awe inspiring just to see him casually strolling around his compound. He makes Ah-nold look like a wuss.

I find the gorillas so intriguing, perhaps because they are so close to humans in their appearance and movements. These are wonderful sketches! What fun to have a zoo nearby:>
