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.

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

They were outside when I last looked.

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.

Weight

Adult male weight: 350-600 pounds (157-273 kg)

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.

Have the lights gone out at the ZOO I got nothing but darkness this morning.

Me too, no cameras are on!

I will phone the zoo to see what is happening.

I have just spoken to the zoo and they tell me that the camera's are on but they are getting the IT chap to check the connection for you all. :-6

Thank you Peter I must check on them daily and watch them for hours I miss JOCK.

Carla's in love!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

JOCK is the man and way more entertaining than any guy I have been out with lately. :wah:

yipppee!

thanks Carla!:guitarist:guitarist

Carla, Jock's inside all by himself, now's your chance.:sneaky::yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

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

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

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

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.

Kathy Ellen;1227134 wrote: It looks like big, white cottoney stuff....


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

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...



Wood wool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

They are sleeping nice and quiet.

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

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

They are inside now and getting settled down.

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

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:

Oh, I had bever tried that before, oscar! You can see them closer up!

chonsigirl;1227860 wrote: Oh, I had bever tried that before, oscar! You can see them closer up! Did you get a bigger pic? Did it work for you?

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

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.

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.

oh thank you Carla, I wondered how that was done.



now the camera's aren't working!:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Yeah, some were in the hut, now no cameras.

The outside one was on a few moments ago.

We will be there tomorrow :-6
