The gorilla “Schorsch” has already turned half a century old – the article looks back upon the five decades that led from Nuremberg Zoo all the way to Loro Parque.
Fatou from Zoo Berlin is the current age record holder: there is no living gorilla in a zoo as old as she is. One reasons for this is the great care she has received.
In nature, the gorilla Schorsch would have died a long time ago. However, thanks to the good care at Loro Parque, he can enjoy his age and continue to lead a life that satisfies his needs.

Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden wants to free the gorilla Ndume from the claws of a more than questionable foundation so that he can live a good life in the zoo together with other fellow gorillas.
Animal rights activist and zoo opponent Damian Aspinall failed with his attempt, strongly criticised by experts, to release gorillas into the wild : the animals died.
