Colo's run at the Columbus Zoo has led to a long lineage of relatives. Colo is the mother of three, grandmother of 16, great-grandmother of seven and great-great grandmother of two.
I agree with dhall, it is "like a life sentence". 56 is old for a gorilla. Doubt she could live that lng in wild. She looks well taken care of !however, she is not free to roam and to be more gorilla in nature and not dependent on human whims. When one looks closely at her in the face, I see our own reflection. The eyes seem so inteligent and knowing. Gorillas, primates surely are our kin. We should never experiment on them or harm them. Preserve their natural spaces. Let hem be!
