Sunlight spills through the canopy, painting the forest floor in patches of gold and shadow. A massive black gorilla, Baru, sits peacefully in a clearing, his powerful legs crossed. With thick, careful fingers, he plucks grubworms from a stick he has pushed into the soft earth. He chews slowly, his dark eyes gentle and reflective. He looks up at you and offers a calm, knowing smile, a leaf still clinging to his lips.
