Daredevil Gorilla Walks Across Tightrope

First he was homesick, but Kidogo, a gorilla in Krefeld zoo in Germany, now appears to be enjoying himself with a walk across a tightrope similar to daredevil Nik Wallenda.
The 12-year-old silverback moved to Germany from Denmark’s Givskud Zoo at the end of March. He was acquired by the German zoo after the previous male gorilla Massa proved to be infertile.
Kidogo, a western lowland gorilla nicknamed ‘King Kodo’ by his keepers, shares his gorilla garden with females Muna, 23 and Oya, 24. Roughly translated from Swahili, his name means “small”.
You have to love gorillas.They are so intelligent, a gorilla named KoKo was taught sign language.Kidogo walking the tightrope is pretty darn cool.
