Have you seen this?: http://www.pbs.org/nature/episodes/snowflake-the-white-gorilla/introduction/275/ How about the 1957 National Geographic article about the US National Zoo? Sincerely Paul
Paul,
Thank you. Do you think the world will ever see another Snowflake?

I guess given enough time it would be inevitable. I've heard stories of other white gorillas spotted in the wild. Sincerely Paul PS: I believe that Barcelona Zoo froze his testicles so that he may yet father more babies. The San Diego Zoo did the same thing with a pygmy chimp's testicles after it died.
