Now that things are finally starting to open back up, I can take you to my second home town Zoo, and there's no better way to do that than with the Lincoln Park Zoo's Center for African Apes. The Zoo had been known for their success in breeding Gorillas and researching Great apes. In 1976 the zoo had just completed their former Great Ape House. Nearly 25 years later in 2004 the Zoo used roughly 26 million dollars to build a sanctuary 4 times larger than their previous one that through time became one of the Country’s better homes for these African Apes.
