    Having read the description of your list now, here's to you Rigo. I did not know you but you're an amazing creature nevertheless. I'm sure you were as fake-aggressive yet oh so friendly and social as other gorillas. Posted 9 years ago

    Rigo was the most gentle giant. The out pouring of emotion around the time was a very sombre time in the Zoo. From keepers, staff and general public show how much Rigo meant to us all. Even to his family group. Posted 9 years ago
