I've just found the following article about London Zoo's gorilla "Mok"; hopefully others will find it of interest. (The article was first published in "The Archives of Natural History"; the journal of The Society for the History of Natural History.)...
As someone who has grown up with Omaha Zoo, I've always been fascinated by the zoo and the future of it. While it's fantastic as is, for a very long while I've been coming up with my own hypothetical plans for what could and should be improved. I will be drawing a lot of inspiration from plans...
