The Simian Finger

A surly reaction to an intrusive photographer?

Getting the finger is not an everyday occurance for most people, especially when the perpetrator is a gorilla.

In this instance, the image is funny, but the story behind it is not.  This primate provocateur,  who lives in a Colorado zoo, is named Kwisha.  She's 19 years old and her finger is permanently extended, due to tendon damage. It's been that way for 12 years.
