April 24, 2009: Drunken Gorillas
Drunken Gorillas? Yes, and not by stealing some zoo keepers pocket flask.
|
When wildlife photographer Andy Rouse was told he would find a family of endangered gorillas high on the mountain, he did not expect to find them this high. Sitting back in the foliage as if it was a cocktail bar, the mountain gorillas had been gorging on alcoholic sap from fresh bamboo shoots and were looking distinctly the worse for wear. Some were propping up the bar with a bleary air, while others staggered to their feet obviously hoping the mountain police would not ask them to walk in a straight line. |
|
'The boss of the group, a huge silverback called Kwitonda, and some of the younger males were completely out of it. 'Some were running round cackling to each other, others were going mad swinging through the trees, some were just lying on the ground in an inebriated state. 'Normally, they eat handfuls of other vegetation, like a sort of salad to soak up the sap, but this time they were just enjoying a drink.' |
Well what's a Gorilla's to do, when the girls go off shopping or something?

I won't shoot you. That's too chicken. I'll beat you to death with my bare hands instead. 
Much more personal satisfaction that way.
Herpes? Is that when alligators take over your body?

Being a bartender I have seen more scenes similar to this than I would like to admit. Only my patrons are slighty less hairy.
