Interview 8364 – Caption Index: 635

How did that start or was it successful?… Read More

Interview 8364 – Caption Index: 636

Yeah, it’s very successful along with many other zoos that were successful in keeping them and reproducing them and I’m not sure now what the program, whether it’s still in effect, but I would imagine so. They’re one of the most beautiful, the small primates. Read More

Interview 8364 – Caption Index: 630

Mopie was a beautiful gorilla. I don’t think he’s alive anymore. He was sent back to National Zoo I believe because he was on loan from them. But Mopie, it wasn’t Mopie’s fault, we had a malfunction of a spring loaded locking device that we invented in San Antonio and… Read More

Interview 8364 – Caption Index: 631

Interview 8364 – Caption Index: 619

And then your breeding program was successful?… Read More

Interview 8364 – Caption Index: 620

And that’s a pet peeve of mine that they asked us not to breed them anymore because the population in captivity was lean toward are our animals more than they should.
