    It is well known that the gorilla "Pongo" was exhibited in London in 1877 at the old Westminster Aquarium.

    The same individual was also exhibited at the old Berlin Aquarium in Unter den Linden.

    ZooChatters may be interested to know that a book has been written about this ape:

    Master Pongo: A Gorilla Conquers Europe: (Mustafa Haikal (Author) & Thomas Dunlap (Translator); 2020).

    See link below for further details.
