16. For years, he lived in a small cage in a
dark building. Then he was moved to
the Bronx Zoo, to a large cage outside.
He sat on some rocks because he didn’t
like the feeling of the grass on his feet.
Then he started to move around a lot.
Later, he became very friendly with the
other gorillas in the cage. After only a
few months, he became a father!
