    A peaceful mountain gorilla peers back at the crowd. This photograph was taken by Jim Epler at 2:25 PM on 7/21/2007 in San Diego, CA at the San Diego Zoo. It is cataloged under the term animals in this photography database.

 This image was recorded on digital media using a Canon Digital Rebel xTi camera with a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L lens stopped to 5.6 and exposed at a speed of 1/80 sec.

Photographer Comments: Sometimes I get sad when I go to the zoo, especially when I visit the gorilla exhibit. I feel like man doesn't have the right to cage these magnificent creatures. They should be permitted to exist peacefully in their native habitat.

 

Additionally, Jim thought of search words that someone might use to locate this picture including the terms silver back, ape, monkey and gorilla, so he included these on this page as a service to himself and others who would like to download this free photograph!
