Histórico
Guy came to London Zoo from the Zoo in Paris in exchange for a tiger. He arrived on 5th November 1947, Guy Fawkes Day, hence his name 'Guy'. He was just over a year old when he arrived, and was the first gorilla at London Zoo for six years. Over the years he became one of the most popular and loved animals in the history of the Zoo. While under anaesthetic for a dental operation in 1978, Guy died from a heart attack at the age of 32. Guy is commemorated by a bronze statue by William Timyn
