Continued from Part 2…
Unbelievable is the only way to describe it - a large gorilla with the biggest head you’ve ever seen, sitting right in front of us nonchalantly eating bamboo. Francoise started clearing all the brush away so the vets could get a good look at the bloody foot. At one point Francoise tried to move the remaining bamboo that was between us and the #1, when the king grabbed it right out of his hand! That is how close Francoise was to him.
Normally tourists get about an hour with their assigned group. We had at least 90 minutes while the vets reviewed the injury (no intervention needed).
The head veterinarian told us he had been on approximately 100 of these types of treks before. He said without a doubt, it was the best one he had ever seen and told us we should go buy a lottery ticket. We didn't need to; we had already won the lottery!
