My first trip to the Henry Doorley Zoo was way back in the early to mid 70's. The primate area was pretty much normal for that time although there were more species than at most zoos. The enclosure was concrete and all the primates were in separate cells. There was a very large male Silverback Gorilla in one of the cages and the safety glass that separated him from us was shattered from a punch he had thrown. The zoo staff had done some kind of physics thing (that my dad explained) that applied pressure to the shattered glass to hold it in place til they could replace it. Just the thought that he could do that again and possibly get out freaked me out, especially with all the asshats teasing him.
