One of Denver's southernmost suburbs is Highlands Ranch. Comparatively speaking, it's a fairly new community. Most of the homes there are less than 30 years old and the downtown district has only sprouted up in the last decade or so. Of course, it doesn't quite have the character of some of the nearby communities like Littleton or Englewood. However, downtown Highlands Ranch does have something those other towns don't...Gorillas.
Highlands Ranch Town Center North, located at the intersection of Lucent Blvd and Highlands Ranch Parkway, is a pretty standard shopping center. It's got a Target, Game Stop, Chick-fil-A, you name it. In the parking lot, though, you will find several sculptures of gorillas. Why gorillas? It's not like they were once native to this part of Colorado, or any part of Colorado. I don't really care, though, cuz they're cool.
You will find three of the apes nearby establishments like Little Caesars Pizza and Raising Cane's. Somewhat hidden, though are three more gorillas toward the back of the shopping center, in the northwest corner. Just walk down Lucent Blvd and you will find them guarding a ditch
