Gorillas use their hands and feet to walk, run and climb.
I thought that guy pictured to the right looked a lot like my Uncle Joe. He is one of the oldest gorillas in captivity. Willie B lived in a cage without any contact with other gorillas for 27 years. In 1988 Atlanta Zoo opened the Ford African Rain Forest, a large natural habitat area for Willie B and other gorillas. Since then many other zoos have created better habitat areas for our animal friends.
