Zookeepers in Bangalore are looking for a potential mate for Polo, a 36-year-old male gorilla who has been unattached since his mate died in 2000
Polo, a 36-year-old male has been unattached for the past eight years, since his mate died in 2000. Originally from Ireland, he now lives in a zoo in Bangalore. Zookeepers say Polo is healthy, friendly and understands both English and Kannada, but is extremely lonely. Fearing for Polo’s psychological well-being, zookeepers are putting out a desperate call for potential mates or companions. They say they’ve already contacted all the major zoos in the world, but no one seems willing to part with their gorillas.
