After a morning spent wandering around her enclosure, the restless ape finally sits down to relax, but not before showing off numerous facial expressions.

Michal of New York, says: “The gorilla’s name is Julia and she has a very special personality. She is very outgoing and is one of a few gorillas in the zoo that interacts with the visitors.
