Statue of Gorgeous the gorilla

“Gorgeous ~ 1949 – October 2000”

“Gorgeous ~ 1949 – October 2000 ~ Gorgeous was one of Hogle Zoo’s best known and most beloved animals. Age-related vision problems made her world blurry, but pioneering eye surgery restored color and form to her life. Living to age fifty, she was the oldest known female western lowland gorilla. She met children with curiosity, and brought smiles to all who visited her. We celebrate and honor her with this remembrance.”
