Beautiful silverback gorillas and orangutangs

I have always loved animals since being a little kid and these last couple of weekes there’s been alot of awesome documentaries about orangutangs on tv and I just now saw one about the Silverback gorillas in Rwanda too.

It’s unevitable to be amazed by these giant creatures with human-like features. In the documentary today they spoke about how few silverbacks there are left and unless we make an effort to save and protect these animals the might not be here for the next generation, our kids, to see.  My god, what a loss that would be.

I sometimes actually feel more for animals in documentaries than I do for humans , its strange but I guess there’s some sort of innoscence in them that gives me the feeling that it is our duty too look after them and  make sure that evil people dont abuse them.

I found these different photos through google and just looking at them inspires me to draw :D. I love their gigantic bodys and how strong they look (and are!).
