Hello, T! just me lookin in, I have an affinity for these! ever since "Gorillas in the Mist". did U see "Greystoke, The Legend of Tarzan" with Christopher Lambert? practically my all time fav. This is a great drawing, U put so much love into it. Sad Eyes turn the other way...Sad Eyes! that song plays in my head or U don't know what it's like...He does not look happy n I am sure he probably isn't. Most zoos r not where these grand creatures belong. love to U CB
