Gorillas Among The Missed

More than 125,000 western lowland gorillas have been discovered deep in the forests of the Republic of Congo, dramatically increasing the estimated population, primatologists said today.

This is good news, I suppose, but the picture cracked me up.

I can't decide whether Junior is in trouble for giving away the gorillas' location with a big shout of "Here we are! Look over here!" or if he's just entertaining the band with a rousing rendition of "Hello, my baby, Hello my honey, Hello my ragtime ga---al..."

And in case you're wondering how I knew that a group of gorillas is called a "band," here's my irrefutable source:
