Ramblings, rumblings, grumblings, and rambling grumbly rumblings.

LOLOL. Here's how you do it. In the back area, you are just on the other side of the bars. His fingers and hands are too big to get through. He would put his back against the bars and look over his shoulder expectantly. Looking carefully, you'll see that he has his right arm crossed over and his fingers are hidden between his left bicep and left side. That's the hand you have to watch out for. He tries to catch your fingers when they come though. So you tickle him just like a person, on their sides and jump away when he tries for the fingers. It's not malicious, just part of the game. They chuckle very much like a person. Like heh-heh-heh with a deeper growling sound below it. I don't know how else to describe it. It was fun with the young gorilla too. He was about 50 lbs and hand-raised so you could go in the cage with him and wrestle around and tickle. I remember one Family Night doing that and then done, turned to get his food. First he leapt off a boulder onto my back and then he bit me in the butt cheek when I bent over to unlatch the door. The crowd seemed to think that was just hilarious. He didn't hurt me in any way when he bit. Just playing. Ah, the stories. I should journal these entries and put them in memories. I think I just might. Thanks!
