The handlers go in with the baby gorillas and this guy is considered the alpha male. So all the gorillas challenge him all the time and beat him up. We saw the gorilla he's holding punch him an inappropriate place, he actually has to wear a cup. They have gorillas, chimps, and monkeys. All of them have been orphaned due to poaching. They get little funding so we paid $10,000 cfa ($20) to get in and another $5,000 cfa($10) to take pictures. The wheelbarrow is what the animals eat. The bright red balls are what the guide told us was wild ginger. I asked him if we could try it ( I know, who is this person?). You tear it open and it is white and papering on the inside with a pod of black seeds with a clear outer larvae kind of idea. It was citrusy. However you are supposed to just kind of swallow them. Meredith and I chewed them and it was just like eating a peppercorn, yikes!
