I posted this wonderful animal because he brought back memories of my wanting to put a gorilla in the chimp act. My dad spoke to Louie Goeble at the compound about buying a baby gorilla for the act. A few months later Mr. Goeble called dad saying he just got a little male from Africa and Louie and dad made a deal. Then Louie looked at me and said I want you to know that gorillas get very big and strong as well they do not get along with chimps….. you could have  a good idea go very bad. As much as I wanted the gorilla, I knew it was the wrong thing to do. This photo is of Ubongo at the San Diego Zoo .
