[edit ]

Guinness had Massa's birth year at 1931 and age at 53 yr 5 mo (suggesting he was born in July, 1931). --Anshelm '77 (talk) 13:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Oldest gorilla

[edit ]

The oldest NOW: Jenny, the world's oldest gorilla in captivity celebrated 55th birthday at the Dallas Zoo. Todd Bowsher, curator of the zoo's Wilds of Africa exhibit calls the birthday "a special milestone." The International Species Information System stated that Jenny is the oldest gorilla in its database. Kristen Lukas, curator of conservation and science, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Ohio stated that "gorillas in the wild normally would live to age 30 or 35; Of the roughly 360 gorillas in North American zoos, only 4 are over the age of 50. All of them are female.".tv3.co.nz, World's oldest gorilla celebrates 55th birthday gmanews.tv/story, Gorilla celebrates 55th birthday with frozen cake --Florentino floro (talk) 09:24, 9 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Rip arm off?

[edit ]

In his prime, Massa weighed 400lbs. He was strong enough to rip the arm off his handler in the early 1950s.

If something like that actually happened, it should be clearly stated, and more information should be provided. If it didn't happen, what is the point of mentioning it? 206.53.197.24 (talk) 14:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

It has been 8 months since I asked what about the point of mentioning that. Since there was no reaction, I removed the remark. SlowJog (talk) 00:59, 18 September 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
