@Jodee I love the reasons for your choices and what the colors mean to you. Great post. I also chose eggplant for my “e” in my name. I did not think about emerald but I do love that rich shade of green.

What a lovely exercise. My name in colors is not an idea that came to me. Might get my kids to try this. Will have to think about mine for a while. The “R” in my name would for sure be red. 🙂

This is an exercise and a half. With colors I can try to get what my name means. A- Amber is close to Orange like you have said I will associate it with oranges rich in vitamin
N- navy blue I associate it with uniformed police in my country for me that’s protection.
I- Ivory I think of ivory tasks. Am thinking elephants animals of the jungles.
T- I can’t seem to think of a color with the letter T
A-Amber
H- hot pink the only thing that comes to mind is baby girls.
I can think of other ways.
A-Amazing
N-Naughty
I-Intelligent.
T-Tenacious.
A-Amazing.
H-Humble
I guess those are some really nice characteristics about a name right? Maybe this should be a new thread what do you think.

I too have read this news and there was no option as one would have not known what the Gorilla would be doing with that child.

Yes, it is the parents’mistake why they let the children go near the gorilla cage because it does not know difference between man and animal it eats what he sees as I have heard and read in different books.

Gorillas are able to survive on vegetation such as leaves, stems, roots, vines, herbs, trees, and grasses but such vegetation has relatively low nutritional quality. Therefore, they must consume a larger quantity, but it is available year-round.

Gorillas are very selective foragers. They usually only eat parts of vegetation. For example they may eat only the leaves, pith, stalk, or roots of a particular plant. They use their agile lips and hand dexterity to manipulate the vegetation for the particular portion they want to consume.

I have read in a magazine recently that A young boy got into the gorilla enclosure and was confronted by a silverback male gorilla named Harambe. The gorilla repeatedly dragged the boy through the water. To save the boy, the zoo’s staff shot and killed Harambe.
