The Gorilla Diaries takes us back to a time when zoos were turning from menageries designed to amuse the public to conservation and education institutions. With the first gorilla born incaptivity in 1956, there wasn't a lot of experience or communication to help pioneers in gorilla care like Ann Southcombe in the 1970's. Ann gives us a glimpse into her days with seven baby gorillas, including the antics of each different personality.
Learning as she went and using her intuitive and loving nature to guide her, Ann's love and dedication to her "babies" and all the animals continues to this day. There is a large population of gorilla fans around the globe, who will enjoy reading about Ann's important part of gorilla history. I know I was! - Jane Rasmussen-Dewar Founder, Gorilla Heaven CEO, The Gorilla Heaven Charitable Foundation, Inc.
