This silverback gorilla was huge!! When he sat up and cupped on his chest, it made quite an impressive noise. Powerful and majestic.
I saw something unusual in the tree and it was this guy or gal. It's amazing what you see when you look up!
This is obviously a water turtle, but I don't know the exact species. The moss covered rocks highlighted by the sun, provide an interesting backdrop to climb over. I've rescued numerous land & water turtles from the road ways and there is a difference. Land turtles hide in their shells when you pick them up. Water turtles have long necks and can reach around and try to bite you. They don't know you're trying to help, but seeing them wander off into the grass away from the road is worth it.
