Happy Birthday,
Joe!
The
end of March is Joe's turn to be in the limelight - at 49, the third
oldest male gorilla whose age is known.
Guests on the March
31st tour had a special treat to see Joe's reaction to his birthday
"Cake" (water-melon, celery for candles with strawberries for the
flame). |

A Message from Dr. Terry L.
Maple
I’ve always admired the Dewar Wildlife Trust and their
devotion to helping gorillas and other wild creatures. During my seventeen years
as President/CEO of Zoo Atlanta I participated in an unprecedented period of
productivity in gorilla breeding. Today Zoo Atlanta has more gorillas than they
can successfully house on their campus. The availability of space at the Dewar
Wildlife Facility for two young adult gorillas is a wonderful opportunity for
both institutions. One of these gorillas is the only male heir of the great and
wonderful Willie B. Willie B. Jr. (Swahili name, “Kidogo”) is a wonderful
addition to the Dewar Wildlife population...

Joe, at 49 years old, is the third
oldest male in a zoo setting and is Dewar Wildlife's
iconic resident.
Joe started life in Cameroon, and has spent time in several zoos in
the USA including Birmingham (AL), Denver (CO), and Brownsville (TX).
Joe came to this wildlife facility in 2003 and in spite of his
advanced age, enjoys tour visitors and the tranquility of the North
Georgia Mountains.
