Welcome to the Community Gavin! Your very first spotting shared on Project Noah has earned you spotting of the day!

Female gorillas care for their babies with great affection, patience and playfulness. Mischievous youngsters are disciplined with stern vocalizations, body posturing and strong looks. Gorillas also chuckle, smile and purr.

Hi Maria!

Yes it is watermarked with il.lustr.us Media, that is the brand name I use when doing fashion and art portraits, and I also sometimes apply it to ape pictures that I think are particularly human!

I'm not sure what would constitute proof, but for another example you may see my ModelMayhem profile which includes Miscam, a rather large Orangutan.

Hi Gavin, Welcome to Project Noah. The photo carries a legend of Illustrated Media. Is this your photo? If not, it would have to be removed as we can only post our own spottings unless we have express permission from the original photographer to post a photo. Project Noah must be careful not to infringe copyrights. Looking forward to your photos of wildlife.
