NEWS - GORILLA SELLS HIS ARTWORK ON EBAY.com

A gorilla is selling his artwork on eBay.
N'Dowe, a critically endangered lowland gorilla, was given art materials to see how he would react.
Now, the seven-year-old's masterpieces are being sold by Paignton Zoo in Devon to raise money for international ape conservation.
The paintings were created using non-toxic child-friendly paints.
Zoo keepers Craig Gilchrist and Lorraine Miller acted as artist's assistants, putting blobs of paint on the canvas and letting N'Dowe use his fingers. Senior keeper Mr Gilchrist said: "He seemed to enjoy it - he got paint all over himself and us."
One piece is a vibrant red and purple abstract artwork on a canvas 30X23cm. Three more are 40X30cm and feature greens and oranges.
Zoo spokesman Phil Knowling said: "We can't be sure, but it's possible that the vigorous use of bold colour is a comment on the brutal way the natural habitat of gorillas and other species is being destroyed around the world."
N'Dowe is the youngest of six gorillas in the zoo's bachelor group. The rest are silverback Pertinax, 29, Kumbuka, a 13-year-old black back, Kivu and Kiondo, who are both nine, and Matadi, who is eight. Walking sticks made by Kumbuka have also been selling on eBay to raise funds for the ape campaign.
Dr Kirsten Pullen, zoo research officer for the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust, which runs Paignton Zoo, said: "Paintings by animals are not entirely unknown - chimps and elephants have done them.
"But they are not exactly common and don't come up for sale very often, so these are very special pieces. Even if you don't like the style, it's still a painting by a gorilla."
