Our son knows just about everything when it comes to gorillas

Our son has aspergers and is something of a genius.

  • Seriously, he remembers every detail of everyday life and he’s fascinated with the lives of gorillas.

We actually make a point to visit the zoo at least once per month or he’ll become very agitated and disappointed. He always heads straight to the gorilla exhibits and loves talking all about them. He talks about their eating patterns and what they eat. He talks about how they build nests every evening and how they do in the wild living amongst other gorillas. He of course remembers all their birthdays and their names and he recognizes all the individuals. I feel kind of bad because most of them look alike to me, but he can always tell who is who. He says he wants to go on a safari to see wild gorillas sometime in the future, which I plan to make happen for him one day. I remember asking our son if the gorillas liked air conditioning and he said how it wasn’t natural for them to have climate control. They lived in places with tropical climates where the weather conditions were warm for the most part, but those who live with colder temperatures have thicker fur. He did say how some monkeys that were domesticated showed an interest in climate control and AC system enjoyment, but that was a different kind of thing. He does believe that it’s not right to keep gorillas in cages, but he does enjoy seeing them but he wishes he could free them all into the wild. Usually after we go to the zoo, we go to our favorite eatery that usually has the ideal temperature control settings and good air quality. He always gets the chicken tenders and I usually go for a burger with fries.
