Baby Gorilla pics!! Baby Ape pics!!

A twelve-day-old female baby gorilla grabs the finger of her care taker Clara Beatty at Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Neb., Wednesday, April 20, 2005. The baby gorilla was born April 8, 2005, at the Zoo to Timu, the world's first test tube gorilla, who lost interest in her baby seven hours after giving birth. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)



Critically endangered infant bonobo, named Makasi, explores his outdoor enclosure for the first time, March 22, 2005, as he is slowly integrated with a bonobo troop, at the San Diego Zoo. Makasi had to be hand-reared in the Children's Zoo primate nursery after his mother at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park rejected him shortly after birth. Bonobos are a very rare, and critically endangered species of great ape native to the forests and lowlands of the Democratic Republic of Congo (news - web sites). Incorrectly but commonly called 'pygmy chimpanzee' this species is only slightly smaller than the more commonly recognized species of chimpanzee and has dark pigmentation on its feet, hands and face.

5. WTF, they are WILD ANIMALS!!! Whaddaya mean you used to love them
that statement is rediculous. To not love or to dislike an animal for what it does naturally is such a simplistic way of looking @ the world.

Do you hate women because a woman cut a fetus from another woman's womb? Do you hate all men because men have cut the flesh from humans and cooked it up for dinner and ate it (Dahmer)?

Give me a break. Animals are beautiful and we should love them and care for them all. They do what they do because they are animals pure and simple. WE are the ones who forget they are wild animals and thus it is our fault when something like this occurs.

In fact, we are animals pretending to be higher than they are but we do more disgusting things and we have higher brain capacity.

You shouldn't hate or dislike animals for being animals and using their instincts.

7. Whoa, chill out. I'm making a funny.
And the "I used to love them" statement didn't mean I hate them. Just means I wouldn't get into a cage with them.
