If you ever happen to goto England, there is a superb Gorilla sanctuary in Kent (SE England). It's named Howletts and is one of the few enclosed-animal areas I've seen where the animals don't seem trapped (the Rhino enclosure at Louisville Zoo is so depressing).
The founder (John Aspinall) preached close human-animal contact and there's a famous story of how one of the gorilla's took Aspinall's daughter up a tree to mother her. There are a few infamous stories too as they also have a lot of tigers and have had a couple of keeper maulings over the years. The site (http://www.totallywild.net) is not too impressive, but the park definitely is impressive. In fact, my wife and I honeymooned there (for an afternoon) as due to VISA issues she couldn't leave the country :) Hen On Sun, 31 Oct 2004, Mike Watkins wrote: > Lee, > I really like your gorilla pic on your E-mails.
