Oldest male chimpanzee in US dies at age 63 at California zoo
The Peninsula
Cobby, America's oldest male chimpanzee who was beloved as a peacekeeper among primates and an animal envoy to humans who visited and worked at the San Francisco Zoo, has died at age 63.
"Cobby was part of San Francisco," Tanya Peterson, CEO of San Francisco Zoological Society said in a statement. "He is irreplaceable, and our hearts are broken." Zookeepers would miss most "how he expressed his 'goodnight' to them with a soft pant-hoot," the zoo said.More Related News
