Winston, a beloved ailing gorilla at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, dies at 52 http://dlvr.it/T9YcR8
Winston, a silverback who ruled over a peaceful gorilla kingdom at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park for decades and whose 451-pound frame concealed his tender personality, died on Saturday. He was 52.
“Wildlife care teams monitoring Winston’s heart noticed signs of decline in recent years, and he had been receiving medical treatments for several age-related conditions, including heart disease, degenerative joint disease and kidney disease,” park officials said on Facebook.
The gorilla was born in the wild and later came under the care of a private owner in England. The zoo and safari park, which is located near Escondido, took possession of Winston in 1984. He fathered nine offspring, and is the grandfather to eight, and a great-grandfather to one.

Kids today will never know how big Phil Donahue was. He was a good and incredibly kind person.
My favorite moment?
The time when he interviewed Katharine Hepburn and she had no idea who he was.
