Sad news From Craig Baird a Canadian Historian. Charles is famous all across Canada. I wish the 3 times I passed through Toronto I had gone to the zoo to see him

On Oct. 29, Charles the Gorilla died at the age of 52 at the Toronto Zoo with staff & his daughter Johari at his side.
Beloved by visitors, Charles was known for his paintings that helped raise money for the zoo.
In honour of Charles, let's learn more about him :)

So yesterday I dropped into my doctor's clinic to make an appointment. There's a nurse there who always looks forward to seeing what new t-shirt I'm wearing and as I received a new one in the mail yesterday I had to wear it.
She was on the phone at the time she saw the shirt and nearly lost it π€£ then gave me a high 5
