that picture reminds me of this true story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokito_(gorilla) Its about a gorilla named Bokito in a dutch zoo who attacked a woman who visited the gorilla several times a week. The woman who was attacked had been a regular visitor to the great apes' enclosure, visiting an average of 4 times per week. She had a habit of touching the glass that separated her from the gorillas, while making eye contact with Bokito and smiling at him, a practice that is discouraged by primatologists, as apes are likely to interpret human smiling as a form of aggressive display. Zoo employees had previously warned her against doing this, but she continued, claiming a special bond with him: in an interview with De Telegraaf she said, "If I laugh at him, he laughs back".

I like your photo a lot
