This young Silverback Gorilla is enjoying a frozen enrichment snack, similar to a Popsicle only healthier and without the stick! A great treat on a warm day!

In this heat Jeff, I think we are all ready for a good cold snack. I love the almost comical look of his expression as his tongue licks at the treat. One can tell from you picture that he sure is enjoying it. Beautifully timed, the colors are lovely and you got the even the smallest hair so sharp. Awesome and fun work my friend.Eivor Kuchta June 03, 2011
