    If you are raising money to support research on captive gorillas, why does this picture show an orangutan??

    You are correct that this is an orangutan during a routine cardiac exam. We do not have any photos of Dr. Gerlach during gorilla procedures at Zoo Atlanta. The photo is of Trevor Gerlach and Gregg Rapoport, two of the study's investigators.
