About this audio guide
This guide to Rotterdam Zoo, Diergaarde Blijdorp, centres on a regular visitor and the silverback gorilla Bokito, whose eyes she met through the glass several times a week. It turns on the spring of two thousand seven, when the zoo was marking its hundred and fiftieth birthday, and on the warnings keepers gave her days before. You'll also hear about the lawyers, prosecutors and judges who argued afterwards over who was to blame.
