What a perfect feelgood story. They are such magnificent creatures.

I see the DM is now saying pay up or see ads. Another source bites the dust for linked references.

OG, I read the MailOnline via Edge.   The paywalls don't work on that browser for some reason.

Love them.  Thanks Barry.

O_G...I was able to read it...it wasn't behind a pay wall. Just an 'exclusive'.

I've always loved gorillas.  One of my earliest memories is being in hospital in a large cot with rails and I had a toy gorilla with bendy fingers so it clung to the cot sides. 

At one time I wanted to go and see gorillas in the wild in Chad but now I think it is better if they are left alone, like all wild creatures.

Barrie why don't you treat yourself and go and see them at Monkey World in Dorset?

Been there many times, lb.  I am a regular donor, a very worthwhile cause.

Unfortunately I don't have Edge on my Samsung tech.

Definitely had a screen come up with only 2 choices.

A while ago another site did the same, can't recall which.

Pleased to hear it Barry.  I think Jim and Alison Cronin did a brilliant job travelling the world to find and bring back these terribly abused creatures to MW.  And of course sending them back to where they came from where possible.  So sad when Jim died of cancer and she carried on without him.

 I don't think they have gorillas at MW.

I love chimps and bonobos too, all apes

You're right they don't Prudie.  None needing rescuing Yay!
