Baby Faces: Kambiri Hams it Up

ZM-Baby-Face-BIGxx
Kambiri, the youngest gorilla in the FPZ troop (she was born November 23rd, 2010), is growing like a fuzzy little weed, and while she's still quite petite in overall size, her baby teeth have come in, her mobility is slowly but surely improving, and she takes any opportunity she can to exercise her facial muscles for visitors at the viewing glass. These paintings were made from a series of photographs I took while watching her interact with her fans (many of which are small children who enjoy mimicking her silliness).
