Mr O went to town to get some ciggs before we left and guess what? He was stopped by the police in the street and accussed of shop lifting beer from the supermarket. This is so funny on account of him not being able to drink at all for the last two years due to his medication. Strange, the exact same thing happened to him a week ago not far from our home. We are waiting now for our advisor to ring us over this.

We will still be going to the zoo but it's probably best if i no longer post our exact movements on this forum.

Still.......... Life is never dull :wah:

how strangely odd, twice within a week.

nope.......don't post anything here, Big Sister is watching.

The area does have a huge problem with shop lifters so it could be co-incidence.

Either that or he has a double :wah: Never mind, we will just have to wait and see what happens next.

Did you see her holding baby last night? She seems to cuddle her just as it's getting dark.

Someone get JOCK a pillow. The way he sleeps looks so uncomfortable especially when he is on his side.

If you weighed what that gorilla weighs then you'd have trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position too.

The last time Jock and I went head to head he weighed in at 550 pounds. It took me several rounds before I put him down.

Ah, they are going to sleep now, I got home just in time to see them. :-4

Ahhhh, now the gorilla...what's her name??...is sitting in the bed. What material do the gorillas keep placing for their bedding

Post by **spot** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 4:23 am

Straw I think - I don't recall seeing anything else.

It looks like big, white cottoney stuff....

hoppy · Post by **hoppy** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 5:15 am

Damn, I wish I could see it. I love gorillas. I'm not allowed in zoos that have gorillas, nor to own or carry Nair. Not since that unfortunate incident involving a female gorilla that I used Nair on. When she was nude of all her hair, I thought she didn't look half bad. You don't wanna know the rest.

That's wood wool, it's called excelsior in the US. It's often used for packing and it goes into stuffed toys.

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 6:18 am

Oh thank you Spot...I couldn't figure that out. The gorillas love the stuff. They carry it into their shelter and roll in it and then place it in their circular bed.

Here's a link to it...

Big one's in the nest, and someone just took a flash shot-it reflected off the glass. Oh, I wonder if it is oscar!

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 7:29 am

Chonsi,

I just saw a person with a flash in front of the cams near that little hut. But the cam keeps locking up and now that person is gone

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:27 am

They are outside enjoying their dinner and playing in the tree. :-6

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 8:57 am

Oh I keep missing them outside when they're playing.

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 9:22 am

They seem to move toward the hut sit in it, around it, on it, or on the side where the tree is. I'm thinking the camera should be closer to the hut and the tree so we can see them better. :-6 When JOCK comes in from outside up that ramp he fills the entire door way massive majestic creature.

Kathy Ellen · Post by **Kathy Ellen** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 12:59 pm

Oh shhhhhhh. the gorilla is sleeping in the circular bed and curling its toes:-4

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 1:25 pm

They are sleeping nice and quiet.

Odie · Post by **Odie** » Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:23 pm

6:30 am...........still sleeping.

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 10:44 am

Well all the activity is in and around the Hut and the Tree with the ropes. If the camera was on that we could see lots more during their waking hours. :-6

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 11:27 am

They are inside now and getting settled down.

Peg · Post by **Peg** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 11:38 am

For the first time, I had a decent view of them.

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 11:50 am

Momma and baby are sleeping. I hope Jock don't clunk around later going to bed and wake them up. :wah:

Somehow Pete has managed to get into the zoo's website and get a full pic of the inside web cam on his pc. Baby is lying there tweaking mum's nose. :wah:

They moved the camera closer to the HUT today now maybe we can get a better view of what going on all day by the tree and the hut. :-6

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 7:50 am

Saw them in the hut!

Yes oscar, clicking in the bottom left hand corner icon gives you a more up close shot of what is going on.

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Mon Aug 10, 2009 7:59 am

Also after you hit the envelope once( it looks like an envelope to me in the left corner) to enlarge you can click that screen again and it will be a full screen display you can have choice of 2 different sizes.
