Another Distant Cousin, Wilie B.


Willy B. with one of his younguns.






Willy B. (c1959 - 2000) was a resident of the Atlanta Zoo for 39 years until he died Feb 2, 2000 at age 41.He did what all good cousins do, he went forth and multiplied, even if he did get a late start.  I visited him several times at the Zoo I found it very peaceful to watch him.  He looked strong as a bear but gentle as a lamb.  You could tell by his body language and facial expressions that he was always watching human beings and thinking, 




Below two pictures:  Willy B. practicing the universal sign language on how to say "Up Yours!"
