In the other Congo classroom, two sliding doors opened up to reveal a troop of gorillas! This was only a small part of their 2 story exhibit, which also included an outdoor section in the summer. The second day of the conference, we got to eat our breakfast with these remarkable animals.


They seemed to enjoy watches us as much as we did them.


One of the three babies in this troop. They were so goofy and playful. There was something so human in their eyes, I don’t know how anyone can say we aren't related to apes.
