This Elusive Gorilla Did Not Want Anyone Approaching Until They Noticed His Hands Don’t Look

Gentle Spirit

Bobo might have weighed around 350 pounds, but his heart was made of gold. He was the kind of leader that did not need to use fear or intimidation to win his peers’ respect and loyalty.

That is not to say that he was completely placid, however. There are plenty of violent power struggles within the primate world, and any challenger for the throne will not sit there without a good few scrapes. Bobo would not go down without a fight.
