No words needed. As most of us know, many gorillas a rescued, and would perish without a helping hand.

How can one not like this? LIKE IT! The owl likes it.

Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa) :
The Reluctant Model
"The owl flew in to me three times today. There were other folks there but he just flew to me. I have no idea why. First time he landed on a post above my head and then looked at me right in the eyes. Next time a while later he flew in and tried to land on my head. I flinched and he flew off. This time I was taking flight shots as he flew toward me, I didn’t flinch, and he landed on my camera. Crazy. I guess he likes me."
