Trudy death
[edit]After the death of Trudy, this article could use an update, plus the ages of the living gorillas. Timothy McGuire (talk) 04:16, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
Old Bob
[edit]Old Bob isn't real. Only source is a blog post with stock pictures of gorillas. The address of the facility housing old Bob is a residential street. The articles written by someone who clearly doesn't have experience or knowledge of managing captive gorillas. "We have imported more than 100 jungle plants to him feel at home and have introduced several species that he would have remember from his home" Gorillas are notably destructive to plants in there enclosure and plants are always hardy or cheap to replace.
As Old Bob is not kept in an institution exempt from DWA (1976) and there are no gorillas currently held under DWA provisions, it's safe to conclude Old Bob doesn't exist. 86.11.188.212 (talk) 18:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Inaccuracies
[edit]A few of the birthdates and ages don't match up, as well as the chimpanzee named Sheila from the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary is missing from the list 172.100.161.96 (talk) 02:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, thank you for your comment. The gorilla and orangutan lists are both up to date and have accurate ages, however, I have no yet got round to sorting out the chimpanzee list - that is why some of the information is outdated. I have added a note at the bottom of the list informing viewers of this. Toby816 (talk) 07:56, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
