Talk:Oldest hominids

Trudy death
After the death of Trudy, this article could use an update, plus the ages of the living gorillas. Timothy McGuire (talk) 04:16, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Old Bob
Old Bob isn't real. Only source is a blog post with stock pictures of gorillas. The address of the facility housing old Bob is a residential street. The articles written by someone who clearly doesn't have experience or knowledge of managing captive gorillas. "We have imported more than 100 jungle plants to him feel at home and have introduced several species that he would have remember from his home" Gorillas are notably destructive to plants in there enclosure and plants are always hardy or cheap to replace.

As Old Bob is not kept in an institution exempt from DWA (1976) and there are no gorillas currently held under DWA provisions, it's safe to conclude Old Bob doesn't exist. 86.11.188.212 (talk) 18:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
