| has gloss | eng: Bobo (1951–1968) was a western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) who was a prominent feature of Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington, USA, from 1953 until his death. As a publicly accessible gorilla in the wake of King Kong, Bobo was one of Seattles most prominent attractions before the construction of the Space Needle and the introduction of professional sports to the city. After his death, Bobos skin was stuffed and placed on display at Seattles Museum of History and Industry. The remainder of his body was turned over to the University of Washingtons Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture for research purposes; however, the skull went missing shortly after his autopsy and was reunited with the rest of the skeleton in 2007. |
