One fine day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, I walked the Maharajah trail to visit the gorillas. A knot of people were gathered on the left side of the path. There at the edge of the forest stood two large fellas in an eye-lock, daring one another to blink.
A Disney Cast Member came by and pointed out that the one on the left was an older “teenager” who had been challenging the alpha male’s authority lately. We really thought we were about to see some serious “gorilla warfare”, but no; the “teenager” ended up blinking first, and stalked off into the forest.
I turned around to continue my trek, and beheld this strikingly beautiful butterfly, fluttering delicately on a nearby cluster of flowers. Here, in the same space with the power and ferocity of the gorillas, delicacy and grace endure.
Hope you enjoyed my Camera Critters this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Your gorillas are fascinating. The kids and I visited Disney World 30 years ago, but there were no gorillas then. Glad you are enjoying Florida. Thanks for your visit to Jerusalem.
See you again.

Nice shots. It would have been interesting if the younger gorilla hadn’t blinked. They sure are powerful looking creatures.

The one thing I love about Disney’s Animal Kingdom is that there is always something new every time you visit. You just never know what may surprise you around the next bend! =)

Wonderful photos of the gorillas! There was a lot of drama in that picture, I could really feel the tension between the 2 males. Great capture!
Have a fantastic day!
