5. Katherine Uribe: The male silverback is an amazing creature. I simply cannot understand how someone could kill one. To me, it's murder. They are peaceful creatures, who want only to graze plants in the forest and raise their families. And you can see the intelligence in it's eyes. If it chose to hurt the photographers, he could have easily. Instead, the large silverback simply continued to eat while keeping a watchful eye on the men. I wonder if any of us would be so calm in the face of strange and unknown creatures observing us.
6. E Dunlap: Amazing!
