Mar. 27 Give Me A Lift Up!: Gorillas are not everyone's idea of the most charming company, but 247-year-old keeper, Kichael Colbourne has a way with gorillas. Gogal (7) and Jason (5), female and male lowland gorillas at Chester Zoo, enjoying playing games with Michael who spends as much time as he can in their compound with them. I have to keep on good terms with them and be with them regularly otherwise, If I went too long without mixing with them, they wouldn't accept me and it could be dangerous in with them'. said Michael. One of their favorite tricks is to climb on his shoulders so that they can have good close look at visitors looking down from the windows above the compound.
