Gorilla Kiango 2 years old
Photos from Kiango. Kiango was born in March 2021. He is now 2. Unfortunately, his mother Gyasi passed away in July last year. A very sad story of course. A gorilla needs a mother much longer.

A camera with which you can call!
The balance on my savings account has shrunk considerably. You get that when you buy very expensive things. I would not pay so that money for a mobile phone, but for a camera. So I bought a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, especially for the camera. So a camera with what you can also call 😉 READ MORE
