      Thanks, I think it was group 13 in Rwanda, (the biggest group) back then they had 2 grown up silverback leaders of about the same age.

      And as it seemed they were permanently grumpy about having to share the Big man status.

      Great shot - liked it so much I used it on a piece about the Great Gorilla Run on londonist.com:

      Great picture of the gorilla! It would be awesome to see them in the wild. Luckily I've been able to work with some in captivity - but it would be great to see them in their natural habitat.

      It is a great privilage to meet them. You don't go to visit them, but it felt like the Gorillas gave you permission to be around until they had enough.

      I had one Silverback who aproached me, and was as close as 3 meters away, he looked at me thoughfully and walked on, my heart stoped beating for that moment. A feeling I'll never forget.
