Gorilla Asante Trying To Interact

With the chimps you get it all the time, they are interested in whats happening on the other site of the glass. The gorillas are mostly ignoring what happens on the other site of the window ( Like us when we live near busy streets, airports, church bells we block it all out and learn to live with it) , but today gorilla Asante wiggled her tongue at me and showed me/pointed at her teeth. I know the keepers do interact with them on a daily basis for health reasons and I wonder if she was trying to tell me something. I wish I knew what it was, but I appreciate her coming over like that. It made my day. Only a short clip today, but a very interesting one. The surprising day didn't stop there. The day was just after most of the school holidays were over and it was very quite, giving me some peaceful moments to enjoy the gorillas. Watch on Monday who will be next on the window with me! :-) In a 7 minute video!
