Barcelona Zoo

This guide to Barcelona Zoo follows Snowflake, a wild-born gorilla found clinging to his dead mother in Equatorial Guinea in 1966 and flown to Barcelona as an infant, where the zoo veterinarian's wife hand-raised him before his white coat made him a National Geographic cover star. You'll hear about his decades as the zoo's most famous resident and the more than twenty offspring he fathered, none of them white like him. Listen for the name locals gave him before the world knew him as Snowflake.
