I just became a member of the Detroit Zoo and adopted a Gorilla. Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I will be posting some photos soon. This is one of the chimps I photographed.

bang if i had the money i'd adopt everything lol

 

[Bangbang]

I would too. I took care of a baby gorilla from the Detroit Zoo when I was 20 years old in an apartment inside an animal hospital. I was in prevet school at the time and a practicing Vet Tech. I loved it.....the gorilla experience was a great experience. We bonded and I was so sad when they took her back. Ughhhhhhhhhh No different than raising an infant. My girlfriend would rock her and sing songs to her.

Wow Bang .... thats pretty awesome. Can't wait to hear more about her and see a photo. Hey I may even stop in to see her next time I'm up in MI visiting my brothers. I think Detroit is only like an hour from them.

That's the coolest thing Bang! I'm like you and middie. I'd adopt everything if I could! Can't wait to see more pictures!

I did the paperwork last night. I don't kniw her or his name yet. They said they will contact me soon. Then I am going to go see my gorilla. I also got a membership at the Zoo. I can go see my gorilla anytime I want for free. I get to bring a friend too. I don't even have to pay for parking or any special events.

 

[pdswife]

Sounds wonderful Bang.

 

[Bangbang]

It is a token adoption. The money goes to wildlife preservation here and internationally.They sent me a stuffed gorilla that I will keep on my pc desk.I also got a framable certificate making me a International Wildlife Preservist. I did go to see the gorillas and chimpanzee's. Its a cool exhibit. They have an open range that has a barrier around it. I am now a member of the zoo too so I get free admission and parking for myself and a guest.

That's really neat Bang. I adopted a humpback whale for my nephew once. The money went to help animals, and they sent Justin a quarterly update letting him know if his whale had been sighted.
