My sister, Kat, works at the Seattle zoo...she writes...

"Pete the 38 year old silverback gorilla had oral surgery today (sunday). he had busted one of his canine teeth and a whole crew of human maxo-facial oral surgeons, anethesiologists, radiologist came in on their own time to remove the tooth, do cardiology exam, etc etc. plus of course the animal health crew. "

She is always sending me pix of stuff. Baby tigers, etc. By the way, in the photos I posted of Pete, she is the one bending down with the brown hair and glasses. Enjoy the photos...Gorillas never cease to amaze me with their size and human likeness!!
