Ga Ga For Baby Gorillas

2006_05_gorillababy.jpg

Gothamist cannot get over how cute the new baby gorillas at the Bronx Zoo are - and soon they'll be hundreds of pounds! The Bronx Zoo had four babies born in its gorilla community in the past eight months: Gorillas Julia, Triska, Imani, and Halima gave birth to three males and a female; the sires were Zuri and Fubo. You can visit them at the Bronx Zoo, which is open year round. And who knew that the gorillas had been on birth control (placed in bananas, natch) before?

They seem cute now, but once they start throwing feces at you, its a different story.

Yes, these Gorillas are cute now. Until they get much bigger.

Isn't that the best part of a trip to the zoo?

Yeah, they are really cute until they slowly take over your society and turn you into slaves and pets as a not very veiled metaphor for race relations in this country. At least until Mark Wahlberg or Charleton Heston saves us.

Why am I suddenly remembering Patrick Ewing's missed Finger Roll against the pacers?

Swedish Asshole: Because you are a racist douchebag, that's why. And worse, not funny. Keep up the witty trolling that has made Gothamist comments so great.
