This Pool is Mine! by Don Dietrich

The keepers at the Cincinnati Zoo often provide enrichment for various animals, including the gorillas. On this day, they placed a small, children's swimming pool in the exhibit. A male gorrilla, Jomo, played in the water from the side of the pool and then slowly climbed into the water. Once in the pool, he pounded his chest seeming to claim it as his own.
