Gentle gorilla Etoumbie is swapping the good life for a sex life

Gentle gorilla Etoumbie is swapping the good life for a sex life. He is going home to Africa after ten years in Britain. He grew up here, and at Howletts Zoo in Kent he had almost everything his heart desired. His quarters were equipped with ropes and tyres to play with, friendly keepers and an admiring public. But Etoumble is now eleven, the age when gorillas start to feel another desire. The snag is, there is no suitable mate for him; so he is going to begin adult life in Gabon, a few hundred miles from rain forester where he was born. Parting kiss Etoumbie, the 21-stone giant gantly kisses Zoo owner John Aspinall before leaving his old home.
