Me on a hot morning at work (Rick Gomez)

This is me sweating my monkey butt off just after cleaning King's (the gorilla's) shift tunnel... I'm not too fond of summer in Florida.
Part of my job requirement is to spend about 45 minutes each morning bonding with my big buddy. He has always had an interest in my camera and I finally trusted him enough with it to let him hold it (scary!). He doesn't quite understand the concept of the view finder yet, but he gets excited when he sees an image come up on the lcd. It only took him a minute to learn what pushing the button will do. He must have taken about 90 pictures and about 40 were of me. I kinda cheated on this one because I just let go of the camera when I was trying to teach him to aim (I was talking to him here)... Still, he pushed the button, therefore this photo truly was taken by a gorilla.
