Meisie 19 month old gorilla

Lovely shot, Lynne.

Pretty little thing, isn't she? I hope maybe she will have a companion playmate sometime soon, though there seems a delay/problem with either of the other 2 females here getting pregnant.

She is quite appealing.

I agree with all the comments above.
It would be very good for her to watch another baby being raised.

I believe the other females may have been contracepted for a while. If that is correct there's always a danger of reduced/delayed fertility afterward and I'm wondering if this is why Njema and Kena have not become pregnant yet. A recent press item mentions they are puzzled why Njema hasn't become pregnant- but there is no mention of contraception having been used previously.

Great photo. With black animals that have dark eyes, such as gorillas and black bears, it is really difficult to get a good photo where they eyes show up. You have definitely nailed it here!

Lovely photograph lynne..

Thanks for all comments, she,s getting quite a lady now.
