Snowflake the White Gorilla permalink

Snowflake, the world’s first known albino gorilla, was a pioneer in being held captive in a crappy zoo, as he spent nearly his whole life in the Barcelona Zoo (aka El Agujero del Infierno). Among his accomplishments were fathering no albinos, being on the cover of Basement Jaxx’s Rooty, and defeating an alligator in hand-to-hand combat. He died, predictably, of skin cancer at the age of 40, so if you have any albino gorillas at home, please make sure they wear sunblock.
