Wildlife Photo of the Week: Sitting on Dad’s Back

Posted by Kendal Bower | Nov 30, 2018 | Nature Photography

Every Friday, we choose our favorite photo of the week from our Wildlife Photo of the Day website.

This week we chose a pair of mountain gorillas.

After trekking through Bwindi National Park in Uganda, photographer Sylvia Rourke spent an hour watching a troop of gorillas. This young gorilla had some fun sitting on Dad’s back.
