Nico the Gorilla, Gorilla Island, Longleat Safari Park, Wiltshire
Nico is a 48 year old (96 in human years) Silverback Western Lowland Gorilla. He now lives alone as his female companion died recently. He cannot be integrated with other gorillas for reasons to do with his upbringing. By all accounts he is happy with his solitary life on the island with his own detached house with Sky+ HD television.

Sadly, Nico died on 7th January 2018 at the age of 56 LinkExternal link
