 Gorillas
normally live up to 35 years in the
wild. However, they can live
longer in captivity. So, how old
is the oldest gorilla in the world? Don’t be surprised; it is 54 years
old, which is about 100 years in human age! The name of the
world’s oldest gorilla is Colo.
She lives at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio, U.S. Born in 1956, Colo was
also the first gorilla to be born in captivity. On October 24, the
Guinness World Records listed her as the world’s
oldest living gorilla.
The previous record holder was a female gorilla named Jenny,
who lived at the Dallas Zoo. She died in 2008 at the age of 55. Colo is
very healthy for her age. According
to her keeper, she enjoys eating
healthy food and stays active.
“She is old, but very healthy and strong. She will live another few
years without any problems!” said
the keeper. If you want to live a long life, eat healthy food and
exercise regularly like Colo! |
