This Lowland gorilla at Riverbanks Zoo lets out a major yawn. Looks like the guy could also stand to see an orthodontist.

A great flagrant, a great shot!
You´ve made a good job, Rob,on the right time!
I guess the gorilla should let his teeth being better brushed!

WOW! What a capture! Great details with the sharp pointy teeth and all. Very cool pov! TFS

Excellent capture, Rob! In addition to the gaping maw that really draws the viewer in, you've done well with the exposure, as black fur can be tricky to get right. I like your tight crop, and all the detail.

Was the gorilla behind glass, or across a moat? In any case, you appear to be right on top of him (her?). Well done!

Hi Rob,

Superb Angle Chosen. Really Wild Yawn. The Hand behind looks like he is waking up. Just reminding me of a childs picture awaking up but i think comparing wild with sweet is not right ;)

Everything looks Fine.

Well done and TFS.
Cheers,
