And I thought Gerald Durrell had the perfect childhood!

Wow ... fantastic.
I saw a gorilla called Julia get really excited at seeing her former keeper again, 7 years after she last saw him.

That must have been a wonderful sight to see; lucky you!

I was on a real gorilla splurge yesterday.

I was thinking of you cos one of the vids I watched was that child who fell into Jambo's enclosure. Not very good coverage or spoken commentary and it seems to have been toted as some thing new. How many years ago was it? Also, references were made to the gorillas' cage. Cage, indeed.

Dear Jambo.

BTW I picked up these vids via an entry on the Care 2 Causes blog - lots of animal stuff including reports of hideous zoos in America and around the world. Lots of great petitions to sign and share.

It was 1986. yes, it was their outside enclosure - hardly a cage.

The link - oddly - takes me to my own Gmail inbox!
