I've had a particular fondness of gorillas recently, so I have a gorilla avatar I think is pretty good, but doesn't seem to quite hit it somehow. So, whoever offers/suggests the best gorilla avatar within a week wins! All ideas are definitely appreciated. This journal is also a good place to discuss favorite animals etc.
