Gorilla Scratching, Praying, Thinking

Gorillas are relatives of humans;genes are similar to ours. Humans sometimes use the lack of human language by gorillas to abuse gorillas (habitat destruction, bushmeat, etc). I took pictures of a gorilla in a possible praying position. I sat near with yellow shirt to see if they came near. It is unclear what he or she is doing really; He could be praying but I cannot get inside his or head to ask him what he or she is doing. Maybe he is praying it is unclear. Maybe I will visit him or her again
