Fans at Jersey Zoo on Sunday, also get a chance for a photo op with Henry in exchange for a donation to Durrell.



This year, The Durrell Challenge is happening at the same time as the Go Wild Gorillas initiative takes shape.
The project involves artists designing life-size gorilla sculptures that will take people on a trail around Jersey this summer, to celebrate Durrell's 60th Anniversary. The public art event will raise money for a new gorilla house at Jersey Zoo.

Kenneth Rocafort (mitografia_kr) is among the artists currently working on a gorilla, and here is a sneak peek for you!

So how is this all connected to Henry? -- Durrell's Dr. Leslie Dickie has the answer!
