Photo: DPAThere is no older gorilla in Europe: on Thursday the Berlin zoo celebrated the birthday of Fatou the gorilla, thought to be 60 years old. Her journey to Berlin was a torturous one: a sailor brought back the small gorilla from West Africa, and paid a pub in Marseille with the small Fatou. The landlady then got in touch with the Berlin zoo and brought Fatou with her to Germany in 1959. This makes Fatou one of two of the oldest gorillas in the world. The two gorillas became the oldest in the world after the death of Colo in Ohio, US, in January of this year.
