Hugo Bushman Wins Lincoln Zoo Popularity Prize For 2nd Year
Hugo Bushman a 19 year old 550 pound gorilla at Lincoln Park Zoo won the animal popularity contest for the second year in a row. Zoo Director Marlin Perkins says Bushman draws large crowds and is the park’s chief attraction with 3 250 000 visitors this year. Bushman lives in solitary confinement yet is friendly, though his strength limits handling. He was captured in the French Cameroons in 1930 and is the largest gorilla in captivity. He shows bursts of energy leaping in his cage and swinging on tires while following Perkins commands. His diet is dairy fruit and seven vegetables with whole wheat raisin bread totaling about 22 pounds daily.
