...as a gorilla.

This guy was quite the poser and his manner reminded us of Jack Benny's mannerisms (at least those of us old enough to remember).

I don't know who Jack Benny is, probably before my time. But what a poser of this gorilla, it's a brilliant shot.

God, I remember Jack Benny, and it does look like him. Very funny and a great capture.

Thanks all, for the kind words. I wonder if the zoo people would let me dress him up in glasses and a violin? As it was, he drew quite a crowd.

I noticed that the people who didn't know who Jack Benny was are both from the UK. I guess he wasn't quite as popular on that side of the pond. Maybe these will help explain:
