For Columbus Day our family went to the zoo. The big attraction of the day was the silverback gorrilla! As you can see in the picture we had quite an experience with seeing the gorilla up close! It was a neat moment. It was inches away from us on the other side of the glass. The care taker told us that this particular gorilla is the oldest known gorilla in the world. In the wild they live to 30-40. This one (Hercules) is 55 years old. It was born in the Dallas Zoo. He also said that Hercules loves children, essecially blonde children. He seemed to love ours. It was a very neat moment!
