"He approached slowly, hesitantly.

Tino the silverback had lived with Muke, a fellow Western Lowlands gorilla, for more than a decade. And though she often was cool to his attention-seeking antics, she always at least acknowledged his presence.

Now, as the great black beast sauntered into the room, Muke was still. And Tino didn't seem to know how to react."

--Muke was a gorilla that was housed at the Utah Hogle Zoo, I first saw her when I was young (don't remember much) and again I saw her again when I was older a few times. I also saw Tino (mentioned in the story) however when I saw Tino he wasn't with Muke at that time.

Muke, you will be missed you crazy ape!frown
