"A Curious baby mountain gorilla in Uganda's Bwindi National Park stood at my feet looking to grab at my camera strap. He knew it was wrong. Close by, his mother seemed more interested in my reaction than in discipline. She stared at me for several minutes before marching over to scoop up her baby. She then threw a back-fist at my face, pulling it away just in time. Lying on the belly of an unconcerned silverback, she gave me another look: If you mess with my baby, you will have to answer to this guy."
