It’s been a bad couple of months to be a chimp-keeper. And I thought they just flung poo…like FOX News.

These days, whenever I hear of “domesticated” primates, I think of the primates in Michael Chricton’s Next.
Spooky.
Since he couldn’t hit anybody, I think they should get poor Santino some glasses.

There’s a story and pictures of the new baby gorilla in the San Francisco Zoo. After he was born his mother abandoned him, so he’s being raised by a volunteer mom.
I actually hate the idea of zoos, and SF Zoo has had a lot of bad press lately (a year ago a Siberian tiger jumped out of its grotto and killed a guy) but you gotta admit that that little guy is cute as a button in a gorilla-esque way.
